Needham Family Reunion 13 August 2006 |
||
A reunion of the Tonganoxie, Kansas Needham family was held at Tongie's VFW Memorial Park
on Sunday, 13 August 2006. Descendants of Hawley Varnum Needham's
sons Louis, Vin and Fred were in attendance, and a good time was had by all. Besides
a picnic in the park, we visited the
Tonganoxie Historical Museum and the
site of the original Needham homestead. The photos below are from the picnic and the homestead
(I forgot to take my camera to the museum). If you have photos from the reunion (especially
from the museum) I'd be happy to publish them here.
(Sadly, the last owner, Fred Leimkuhler, died in 2010 and shortly thereafter the cabin was demolished. We were fortunate to be able to visit while we could. The details of the cabin are preserved both here and at the Kansas Historic Resources Inventory.) Each thumbnail below links to a much larger image of about 1.44 MB in size.
