6 BROTHERS HOLD REUNION

A photo was taken, the first in forty years, marks the reunion of six brothers, all formerly of Mower county. They are Ashley M. Gregg, of Dexter; Merett J. Gregg of Austin; Olin L. Gregg of Shreveport, La.; Norman S. Gregg of Austin; Reuben D. Gregg, of Lyle, and Vernon N. Gregg of Cedar Falls, Iowa. The brothers, who range in ages from 57 to 72, were together on July 4 [1921].

The parents of the six brothers came to Mower county from Vermont in 1854 and located on a claim in Nevada Township, which is now the home of Reuben D. Gregg.

The brothers plan to hold another reunion in four years.
