to Livingston-Ward Family
From Jerry and Kathy Schultz:
Well, we had a great 83rd reunion on the 24th of July, 2010, here in
Amery, Wisconsin. There were 30 in attendance (a record for the last
few years, I believe!) Over half of those here were at a reunion for
the first time! Larry and Carol Livingston hadn't seen any of their
Livingston clan since Jesse's (Larry's Dad) funeral in 1961. Mildred
Livingston (wife of Charles, son of Cyrus, son of Jesse) was the
oldest female here at 97!!!
Oldest male was Maurice Hammons from Plattsmouth, NE (84) There were
14 from Mildred's line and 10 from Wilma Schultz's line (daughter of
Cyrus, son of Jesse). Horseshoes, ladder golf, bean-bag toss, and the
trampoline were enjoyed by many. A group from Forever Plaid sang
several songs for the group and the group itself, of course,
harmonized beautifully on many hymns. Tours were also taken to a
"glass house" and one of my churches (dedicated in 2009).
It was decided to have next year's gathering in Lincoln and the
following year (85th gathering) to be in Cass County, our ancestral
Nebraska homeland. Great food was enjoyed by all. Rachel Wayman
brought all the history books of our family and continues to be our
"chief historian".
NOTE: Mom, (Wilma), and I were talking about the Spangler reunion,
which has only about 20 attending in Lincoln each year in June,
perhaps joining with the Livingstons. Both Louise (Cyrus) Livingston
and Lillian (Reuel) Sack were Spanglers ! Perhaps they might join us
on the 85th.!?
Please remind all family members to email us so we can communicate
that way and save on postage.
Jerry and Kathy Schultz
