Family Reunion Joynt family to gather for 90th consecutive family reunion
Pictured are William Bateman and Mary Fredrica (Dresher) Joynt and their nine children. The names of the children from oldest to youngest are Fred, Cora (Johnson), Harry, Bertha (Lepperd), Bill, John, Mabel (Ortgiesen), Marie (Eatinger), and Avis (Albright). If you are related to any of these folks, please join us, so we can catch up on all that has happened.
The 90th Annual Joynt Family Reunion will be at noon July 28, 2018. We have been meeting continuously each year since 1928, first in September as a celebration of William Bateman Joynt’s birthday, then we changed the date to last Saturday in July sometime in the late 40s or early 50s. I know that we met on July 27, 1952, because I have a dated picture of me as a 18month-old in a five generation picture with Grandpa Joynt!
To commemorate this year, we have decided to go back to the original food that was brought along to share in the past – your favorite fried chicken and a dish to pass. Other things to bring are information about your family, tables, lawn chair, beverages and memories of when you attended in the past. If you have any questions, please contact Carol (Shaw) Brown at 715-651-0869 or Carol (Ortgiesen) Wadsworth at 815-652-3775. Again, please join us!
