When their oldest child was 29 and the youngest was 6 years old, they had the first reunion on Thanksgiving Day 1929. Then there were 23 in	the immediate family. For years, the reunion took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.G. Eller (parents) until his health began to fail. Later it took place in the homes of some of the children until the family grew beyond those confines. In 1968, the family started meeting on the Sunday before Thanksgiving at the Sheriff's Posse building in Cleburne. At the time of her death in 1978, Janetta Eller had 208 living descendants. There are now 325+ descendants of Janetta Eller and James Granville Eller. This year the Eller descendants came from as far away as South Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, and Louisiana. The Eller family formed a band that played on the radio back in the 1930s so there was plenty of music at this reunion.
