Open house was held at the home on Sunday afternoon, and a family reunion was held at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Nettie Perkins, of Garden Prairie, on Tuesday. All of their children and their families were present on this occasion, excepting their son, Lt. Com. W. W. Bolling, who was on the way home from Honolulu.
