         Family Reunion Held
          In Oklahoma City
      Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Standifer and
daughters, Janelle and Lavelle with
Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Standifer and
daughter, Sharon, spent the weekend
in Oklahoma City attending a family
reunion.
       Once a year the descendants of the
LaCount families, three sisters and
one brother which include the Baker,
Standifer, Kennedy and LaCount
families,  gather at the home of Mr.
Virgil Standifer’s mother,  Mrs. A. C.
Standifer in the city and spend a day
or two visiting.
      This year the clan gathered at Lin-
coln park for a picnic supper with 58
members present. Over a hundred
had expected to attend but Oklaho-
ma’s unpredictable weather kept the
others home.
       Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Standifer and
family returned to Pawhuska late
Sunday but the A. S. Standifers re-
mained for a week’s visit.
