Each year, the Hayes family gathers on the first Saturday in June to fellowship and catch up on family happenings. After missing a year due to unforeseen circumstances (aka, the Pandemic), this year's Family Reunion was held on Saturday, June 5, 2021 at 11 am.
This year we held a memorial tribute to our Family Historian, Clifford "Lynn" Hayes. During our normal history-telling time we not only heard a little bit about his love of history and family research, but some fun quips from people who knew him best.
Past reunions have given new meaning to our family. We have learned about some pesky, interesting characters that we may be related to (General Robert E. Lee), found other branches of our family (welcome to LaVerne Castell Bell, Doc and Leicy's niece in 2019 and this year we welcomed Linda Disler and Kandi Bellamy McPherson), placed a military grave marker at Robert Hays's grave at Indian Hill Cemetery, and just shared general tidbits of family lore. We hope to continue to grow the reunion each year and encourage you to invite your extended family members to join us!
