Family Reunion
New Year’s Day was a most happy

on that day, all of their children were

several years. And not only their
children were there, their
grandchildren were there as well,

Transcribed from Microfilm by Edith Blissett in the year 2004
and really monopolized all the time
of the doting grandparents. Those
present were: Lesle Ice, wife and
children of Belmont, Chas. Roby
and family of Belmont, Mr. and Mrs.
James Langley and children of
Louisville, Jessie Ice of Detroit, MI.,
Arthur Ice and family of
Shepherdsville, C. L. Troutman,
wife and baby, of Shepherdsville,
Robert Ice, wife and baby, of
Shepherdsville and Mr. and Mrs.
Jas A. Ice.
The fact that Mrs. Ice is an excellent
cook is well known in most parts of
Bullitt County, but on this occasion,
she excelled herself in preparing for
her children and it was a most
bountiful feast to which the Ice
family sat down.
The day, which was all too short,
was most pleasantly spent and when
at last the falling shades of
approaching night warned them that
the day was done, all felt that it had
passed away much too soon. It is the
hope of Mr. and Mrs. Ice’s
numerous friends that they may be
able to have all their children with
them and may the next time always
prove the happiest.

a dinner for her guests which will
never be forgotten. Just about
everything which appeals to the
inner man and tickles the fastidious
palate was on the table, and it is not
a stretch of the imagination to say
that the guests did ample justice to
the spread.
After a most pleasant day, the guests
took their departure wishing Mr. and
Mrs. Shepherd many, very many
anniversaries of their wedding and
the hope that they might see their
Golden Wedding and their guests on
this occasion might be with them on
that occasion.
