The 26th Reunion - September 2, 2007
The 26th annual Nathaniel Coleman and Hattie Jane (Lynch) Moss Reunion, held on Sunday, September 2, 2007 at Cedar Creek State Park, brought 158 family members together again to celebrate their heritage. Prior to the day’s festivities, a group family photo was taken, and prints of this picture will be available at the 2008 reunion.Wilbert Reed led the family in prayer seeking blessings for fellowship and food, and all enjoyed a huge buffet of covered dishes and desserts. Following the meal, Carol Jarvis and Pam Tuley began the children’s games, and reunion president Daniel Moss called the business meeting to order.
Following a treasurer’s report and announcements about family cookbooks and o
ther matters, the family awarded its first annual Moss Family Scholarship for family members entering or enrolled in college to Erin Nicole Scott. Erin is in her senior year in the education curriculum at Fairmont State College. Congratulations, Erin!Family members also voted to renew contributions to the caretaking of Nathaniel’s burial site in the Karickhoff Cemetery and for Hattie’s burial site in the Upper Steer Run Cemetery.
Lisa Landis won the family door prize, a beautiful oak end table handcrafted by Gale Whitesel to provide on behalf of the family of Viola Whitesel. Several other door prizes were also awarded. Paul Moss then facilitated family updates from representatives of each of Nathaniel and Hattie’s children. The family also acknowledged and mourned the loss in 2007 of family matriarch Viola Whitesel, 96, the last living child of Nathaniel and Hattie.
