Descendants of Crayton Jones and Laura Moss Jones held a family reunion July 10-11.

Those attending met together at the home and yard of Cecil and Flossie Rhodes for a fish fry Saturday night. Helping Cecil and Flossie with the fish fry were Cecil and Flossie’s nieces, Joan Oglesby, Elaine Presnee, and their daughters, Ann Raborn, Jean Hilliard, Teeny Hussiey, and Sarah Sue Hudson.

There were door prizes given and I understand Walter Bunch won the biggy

the prize wanted by everyone else.)

These families had a wonderful weekend together and I’m sure some just getting to know each other.
