SHEFFIELD - BUSH FAMILY REUNION

SHEFFIELD - BUSH FAMILY REUNION (Early County News, Blakely GA)

To all the decendants near and far of Alvis Clifton Sheffield and Arkansas (Kanse) Bush Sheffield. You are here-by notified of the intent to hold, organize, and establish a reunion in honor of our great and noble names to wit: Sheffield - Bush.

The present date and place for this great occasion is June 8, 1980 at the Colquitt Community Center, Colquitt, GA.

Your interest and your response will be the determining factor for the continuance of this reunion. If possible bring food and drink enough for your family members and one more. It is especially important for all our elderly family members to attend.

Since these two ancestors have become so far removed from our present generation, I think it only proper to name their immediate children and spouses and by doing so it may bring you to a closer recognition of your family line.

To the descendants of Amos Walter Sheffield and first wife Mary Ellen Keen - second wife, Milbrey Kelly; Dennis J. Sheffield and Bethany P. Mock; Rad Sheffield and Rebecca Kirkland; Chloe Sheffield and Howell Harriss; Euzema Sheffield and Georgia Harrell; Eugene Sheffield and Leona Hays.

It will become the duty of all family members that read this notice to inform their respective families of this occasion. If you have any questions or need information, or if you cannot come this year and are interested and would support this reunion please contact Wayne Sheffield, Rt. #5, Colquitt, Ga. 31737, or call (912) 758-3242. Early County, call Francine Reese at 723-4749.
