2013 Holland Family Reunion

Hello Holland family. The last Sunday in April is the Sunday for the annual Holland Family Reunion. We have the park pavilion from 11-4 Westgate Park in Dothan. The pavilion is on Whatley Drive off of Honeysuckle. I will post a sign saying Holland. We have the pavillion reserved for the entire day on Sunday. Come and bring a comfortable chair if you want one.

I am making calls and if you have time to make one call and bring someone with you that will be great. Since most everyone goes to church and has commitments let's plan to have lunch around 1:00 and stay as long as we want. We have a lot to catch up on. http://grannylessons.blogspot.com/2011/01/holland-gravesites-mount-enon-and-ramer.html This is a previous post on this blog that has pictures and family information. I have not spent much time on research lately. I will bring the documents I have and if you have any bring yours. Can't wait to see everybody!

The is a picture of Aunt Bertha and my brother Steve Holland taken during a family Reunion in the early 1970's.  We were at Uncle Lucius' house near Chipley. I loved having the reunions at the homes of all of the Aunts and Uncles. They were actually my great Aunts and Uncles. Elmire, Oree, Ernest, Lucius, Naomi, Lena Mae, Ruth,and Ruby and Bertha. There were two more sisters, Lome and Louise. Lome passed away before I had any memory of her. Louise I remember but she lived near Buffalo, New York so I never was able to get to know her. She and Aunt Ruby looked so much alike they could have been twins. They were very beautiful.
I loved Aunt Ruby very much. A visit to see her and Aunt Bertha was always a big happy event! When I was a little girl they lived in a big old house in Downtown Dothan. Aunt Bertha was a great cook, and she loved to see us eat! I plan to have Aunt Bertha's fresh coconut cake made for the reunion.
