Now I must tell you about the Murray-Gray barbecue at the home of Penny Mortan and Bill Tran, which was a wonderful time for about 200 neighbours and friends. There was a judging show starting about 2 p.m. with a judge from Chicago. There are six farmers in this group. Supper was at 6 p.m. I hear the beef was "out of this world" category. After the supper the showers came. Eldred Catherwood went to Ajax to pick up Hazel Asling and took her to visit her father in Port Perry, then attended the barbecue at Epsom. Faye and Keith Ashton took Ruth Ashton to visit Allen and Joyce Ashton.

Gerrow/Gerow 60th family reunion by Maunsell Gerrow and Gail Sheridan On Sunday, June 2, 1991, the Gerrow Reunion was held in Nestleton Community Centre. It was a glorious sunshiny day with approximately 190 of the Gerrow clan assembling to socialize and be brought up to date on the Gerow-Gerrow history. A published book on the Family Tree of Joseph (Gerow) Gerrow was sold at $20 a copy. Sixty-three copies were sold and 18 photostats of the Giraud- Gerow-Gerrow Coat of Arms were ordered by family members. Leona Butson, Eva Clarke and Jessie Gerow welcomed and registered each guest. The researchers lined the north and south walls of the hall with fami- ly graphs and pictures ready to explain to any guest their location within the Gerrow family. Gail Sheridan and Maunsell Gerrow presented the early fami- ly history. This was followed by the family researchers presenting their lineage. The researchers were Lola Sheridan, Gwen Malcolm, Jean Bailey, Bonnie Gerrow, Jim Gerrow and Cecil Fralick. Joseph Gerrow (1800-1888) and Parmelia (Trull) Gerrow were ancestors to 1,247 descendants. This means we have accounted for 1,247 relatives. Joseph enlisted in the war of 1812 as a Canadian private serv- ing under General Brock and Col- onel Trull. After the war, Joseph married Trull's daughter and Joseph was given a grant of land in Peel Township. Parmelia was unhap- py being so far from her family in Darlington Township, that she and Joseph secured land, Lot 21 in Concession 6 of Darlington Township. Here Joseph added a second R to Gerow so as to appear less french. At a later date, Joseph and Parmelia moved to .Scugog Island and reared a fami- ly of six boys and five girls. The Gerrow Executive Com- mittee decided the family should have a time capsule for family members to insert items relating to the Gerrows to be preserved for their descendants and re-onened at a later date. Each President will have responsibility for the time capsule at the time they are in office. . Some items will include a copy of the family history, family photographs, Saturday, June 1, 1991 Toronto Globe & Mail newspaper, family graphs, cur- rent coins, copy of the Port Perry Star, pictures and write-up of the 60th reunion, and the 60th Reunion Guest Book. We wanted to have a special cake to celebrate our special 60th reunion. and Hanks Bakery from Port Perry did a spectacular job with the Giraud-Gerow Coat of Arms. It truly was a work of art. Thanks to Bonnie Gerrow, Vicki Cubitt and Jean Bailey for preparing the buffet style pot luck supper for such a large crowd. This successful and memorable day was crowned by the atten- dance of relatives we had not seen in years, and some that we had never met. We hope that this will spark an interest and bring these family members to the next Ger- row Reunions. Let's keep the Ger- row Reunion alive! About 190 people attended the 60th annual reunion of the Gerrow family. The reunion was held June 2 at Nestieton Community Centre.
