73d Birthday Celebration of Geo. Y. HOLMES, Sr.
From The
McDonald PA Outlook, May 20, 1893, page unknown:
Saturday, May 13th, will be a memorable day to G. Y. HOLMES, Sr., of
Donegal township, and his children, for on that day the children all
assembled, according to previous arrangements, again at the old
homestead and celebrated their father’s 73d birthday. Mr. HOLMES was born
May 13th, 1820, in Scotland and immigrated to America in
1830, or at ten years of age. In 1832 with his parents he moved to
the farm on which he still resides, being a continuous residence of
sixty-one years.
All his children were present and once again gladdened the old
father’s heart, and with them several of his grandchildren whose gay
laughter and merry prattle lent an additional charm to the occasion.
Following are the names of the children: William, of Chartiers; John of
Donegal township; Geo. Y., Jr., of Claysville; Robert R., of McDonald;
Mrs. S. M. KELLY, of Buffalo township; Mrs. C. W. MILLER, of Coon
Island; Mrs. W. W. REANY, of Donegal; and Miss Maggie, at home.
