Those Places Thursday - Stuart Reunions of Texas


The Texas Stuart Reunions
 
For as long as I can remember as a child
up to a young adult, the Texas Stuart's
(which included the Stuart's, Moore's and Terry's)
of Fisher County, Texas always held a reunion. 
 
Why do I call them "Texas Stuart's"?  Well,
to differentiate them from our close kin -
the "Mississippi Stuart's" of Neshoba County.
 
In the later years, the reunion became
mainly a reunion of just the Stuart side.  In the next
few days, the DENNIS side of this family will gather
and many of their STUART family members will
be joining us in the Mineral Wells, TX area.
 
I remember going to Sweetwater Lake for reunions.
Then, to Cisco Lake, and later on to Lake Brownwood
after the new Texas 4-H Center was opened in
April of 1975.
 
Here's a couple of pictures:
