SEPTEMBER 30, 2007

Argeland Shirley descendants  (branch #10)

 

Spencer Henry Shirley branch of the Shirley Clan will hold a Family reunion on September 30 th. The Family will meet at the Historical Bethel Church a few miles East of Emden, IL. The Shirley Family was one of the founding Fathers in the Church.

Our service will consist of one of the descendants doing the speaking while the rest of the service is conducted by other Family members.
 
The Church is closed and in the hands of the Historical Society and a OK is needed to hold services there. It does not have electricity so some time the temperature can be either hot or cool. A interesting place as it is located by a cemetery and lots of history is in the reading of the tombstones. 
 
The Church service will be an hour long and then the Family will congregate at the Prairieland Christian Church, formerly the Hartsburg Christian, in Hartsburg, about five miles away, to enjoy a meal and fellowship.
 
One of the Family members will present a slide show of the pictures of former years. It is  a great fellowship time to just talk and meet family members that have not been seen for quite awhile.
 
If any further information is needed the following can be contacted.
