The ancestors, descendants, and cousins of the Shells of Pigeon Creek, Alabama.
Notes for Millie Clementine Hearne
Mrs. W.P. Shell and her family met at the old home in Hoods Mill Community, Jackson Parish, Sunday June 23 (1929) and spent the day near the old house and the historic old Mt Pleasant Church.
Mrs. Shell, who is now past 85 years of age, had with her all of her eight children, all ofher daughters-in-law except two, and all of her grandchildren except four. It was impossible for Mrs. J.W. Shell and her son, Jerome, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, Mrs. J.T. Shell and her son, James of Bastrop, La, Miss Margaret Shell of Dodson, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Shell of
Dodson, to be present.
At 12:45 o'clock, a sumptuous dinner was served under the direction of Miss Alice Shell and the daughters-in-law. That meal included old fashioned chicken pie, fried chicken, chicken salad, all kinds of sandwiches, iced tea, coca cola, fruits, vegetables, custards, pies, and cakes. After the feast one
could have gathered up almost twelve baskets of fragments (more or less).
Following is a list of those present: Mrs. M.C. Shell and daughter, Alice, Mr. and Mrs. D.F. Shell and children: Dudley, Doris, Dorothy, Denton all of Winnfield; Judge James T. Shell and daughter Mildred, and Mr. and Mrs. S. Ben Shell and daughters, Jane and Millicent all of Bastrop; Mr. and Mrs. C.L. Shell of Dodson; Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Joshua Shell and children, Jake and Leah, of Ruston; Mr and Mrs W.E. (Bill Ned) Shell and children, Bernice, Mildred, W. E. Jr., Viola and John Wesley, Jr., of Urania; the Rev. J.W. Shell of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania.
It being the regular church day at Old Mt Pleasant, many of the friends of the family greeted them at their reunion.
Late in the afternoon the happy crowd separated and went their way feeling that it was good to be on the hallowed ground of the old church and home where their grandfather had settled three quarters of a century ago.
Winn Parish Enterprise. Winn Parish, Louisiana. 27 June 1929.
