Egbert Family Reunion Celebration of Morgan L. Egbert's birthday
  from Walter Samson

Joyce Tice posted a couple clippings I sent her re Morgan Egbert's birthday gatherings that I have included here. My plan was to attach a photo of one of the gatherings. I guess I filed it in a secure folder, because I can't find it. Note that Mrs. J.B. Coats of Watkins is a principal in gatherings. She published a booklet on the Glen at Watkins that I bought on E Bay. Believe it has some of  her poems, it's been a long time since I looked at it. Attaching a picture of my great grandparents, Marion MacDougall and Emma Egbert.

In 1939 "Cousin Carrie from California" came to visit. I am attaching a picture of her taken by the falls in Montour. I don't know where the picture of John came from. Perhaps when I get my stuff organized for the tax man, I'll get organized.

EGBERT REUNION
A pleasant company gathered at the residence of Morgan L. Egbert on Ithaca Street Monday, to celebrate his 88th birthday. Mr. Egbert is the last of 8 children, remarkable for his agility and cheerfulness, beloved and admired by relatives and hosts of friends; a devoted Christian, looking hopefully to the closing of a useful life and resting in the promise of a glorious resurrection.

Those present were: Mrs. Parker, Miss Frank Egbert, Fruitvale, Cal.; Mrs. Joseph Coats, Watkins; Mrs. Mary Tifft, Rochester; Mrs. A.C. Burris, Mrs. James Swarthout, Lewis Egbert, Mrs. Bonnell and sons, Elmira; Carmi Lattin, Miss Pearl Lattin, Mrs. Marion McDougall, Veteran; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. bacDougall, Montour Falls; Mrs. Fosdeck, Big Flats; Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

EGBERT REUNION - Aug. 1904
A pleasant gathering of relatives convened at the home of Morgan L. Egbert in Horseheads to celebrate his 91st birthday Aug. 8. Mrs. J.B. Coats of Watkins, is a member of the family, and greeted friends from Elmira, Horseheads, Auburn, Ithaca, and one from Tennessee. Messages were slao sent fromt he Pacific coast. A poem was read describing the ancestral home as it was 70 years ago. The reunion was a mingling of  joy and sorrow, as the Reaper had been busy and Cupid had not been idle. The three octogenarians had many memories to exchange, and minds as well as bodies were please and refreshed.---- Watkins Express.

BRIEF EGBERT BIOGRAPHY

"Uncle" Morgan Egbert  liked fast horse. (wrs--see note how Egbert with a fast team won the contest to get the first load of lumber to the site of the Ridge Rd. Baptist Church)

The following sketch was read at the 90th birthday anniversary of Morgan L. Egbert on Wednesday of last week, by Mrs. J.B. Coats of Watkins:

Ninety years ago, in a modest home in the town of ???, ??? county, was born a boy, the youngest of seven sons, who was named Morgan L. Egbert. I suppose he was much like other babies, laughing and crying, kicking, cutting teeth, and getting the measles and chicken pox, as all well brought up children are supposed to do. But I have his mother's opinion that he was a handsome baby, looking like the famous Boston beauty.

Well, his appetite was good and he grew and thrived, and after the death of his father the home was sold and the family came to the town of Veteran, in what was then Tioga county, where my first memories of them are as living cosily in a log hause, with an outside milk room and smooth stones for a floor on which they always seemed covered with the richest cream that made most delicious butter.

The fertile acres about the home were carefully farmed by the mother, a thrifty and industrious woman, and her two young sons, and prosperity came to them. The years slipped along and the boys grew into young manhood. The older one went out in the world to seek his fortune. He was fairly successful but years ago exchanged his life of hard labor for the home where no weariness is known.

After the brother left, the responsibility of the farm fell on the shoulders of this younger son, and well and bravely he met each duty as it came. Frugal and industrious, square in deal, ready to help the needy and with a fine sense of humor he became a universal favorite. If he had a weakness it was for good horses and I used to have a great many rides after his fast team.

One of his sons I am sure inherited the same taste, and handles the reins with skill. My dear uncle was always very kind to me and I remember to this day his unfailing thoughtfulness for my comfort. About this time a commodious farm house was built and arranged for two families and the log house with its sanded floor, the great firplace with its cherry glow were things of the past. but the dresser with its bright pewter dishes was moved to the new house.

Of course it was only natural that our uncle should covet a home of his own and to the new house he brought his chosen bride. For many years they toiled side by side, bringing up their sons and daughters in their own thrifty ways, bequeathing to them traits of character that have helped them to become prosperous honorable men and women.

But there came a sad day when the mother's hands were folded away beneath the daisies and only precious memories were left to the bereaved household. For many months and years the housband mourned, but there came a time when an early friend, a lovely self-sacrificing woman, consented to share his home and bring to him such comfort as only a loyal, faithful wife can do. Right nobly has she fulfilled her promise to love and cherish and today she is with him passing down the slope of life side by side, each helping the other over the hard places, both trusting in the divine helper.

One of the daughters, speaking of the mother, said to me, "She will not need to knock at the door of heaven for the angels will hasten to open it for her." In our pleasant gathering two years afo were our cousins fromt he Pacific coast, who were flad to meet so many dear friends, many of whom they will never meet again in this life.

The last visit I had with my only sister was at that time. A few months longer she tarried, ministering as best she could to her dear ones until one day without previous warning closed her eyes to open them in the mansions where husband and children were waiting for her. Her dauther, Delia Tifft Hadley, is surely failing in health. It seems hard that a lovely cultured woman should be struck down while comparatively young to suffer and die.

She sent me a most pathetic account of her experience before she became reconciled to the loss of health, and the prospects of an early death.  I wish we might send her a cheery word to brighten her lonely life and also to the absent son whose memory is fondly cherished in the home and by the friends gathered here today. Shall we not send a loving message?
