Our next reunion will be in Hastings, Nebraska probably in late July, 2013 - exact date not set yet.
Nebraska was the overwhelming choice of the group in Colorado Springs in 2011. James & Rhoda lived on four farms in the Edgar area during their migration from Indiana to Hoxie, Kansas. Clay County, Nebraska and surrounding area was the center of the Rowlison and Walton families and remains so to a great extent today.
Rhoda (Walton) Rowlison is buried in the Ong, Nebraska cemetery. Her father, Isaiah Walton and one of her brothers are buried in the Marshall Union Cemetery north of Edgar. Maggie Alice (Rowlison) Cassell and Martha Anna (Annie) (Rowlison) Cassell, daughters of James & Rhoda are buried side-by-side along with their Cassell brother husbands in the Edgar Cemetery.
I have located three of the four sites of the farms where they lived in the Edgar area. Kids numbers 8, 9, and 10, James, Roy and Mabel were all born on those Edgar area farms.
The reunion will be held in Hastings with a day trip into Clay County to visit those sites of family interest. We will post details as soon as we settle on them.
