Sautter family reunion
Sixty descendants of Henry J. and Elizabeth Sautter came from as far as Connecticut, Michigan, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Texas to attend the reunion Aug. 3 at the Thompson Stone Hall at Otsego Park.
The location is about eight miles from the family home in Oswald Corners, just west of Weston.
Three of their grandchildren were in attendance: Irma Heiser, the oldest in attendance at 91 years old;
Geraldine Emmons; and B.J. Hedges. Their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and
great-great-grandchild also attended.
Irma Heiser and Rita Kolb registered guests. Secretary-Treasurer Holli Fortney and President Herriman
announced the state of funds and set the date for 2015.
Officers will stay the same.
Family deaths, marriages and births since last year’s reunion were announced.
Potluck dishes, many made from recipes handed down for generations, were enjoyed.
Dan Henning led the group in a "singspiration" then bingo was played.
