BROUGH FAMILY REUNION
J. H. Brough, of Hanover, Elected Treasurer of Organization
The first reunion of the Brough family of Adams county was held at Round Top,
near Gettysburg, Saturday. The attendance was an agreeable surprise, there
being about 133 members of the different branches of the family present.
Lunch was served on the pavilion and following this a permanent organization was
effected with the following officers chosen: President, Mrs. Sue Bushey
Wierman, Biglerville; secretary, E. E. Kuntz, Lansford, Pa.; treasurer, John H.
Brough, Hanover, and historian, William Greenewalt, Frederick. The meeting for
organization was in charge of John A. Diehl, Marion, Franklin county, who was
elected temporary chairman.
The idea of holding a reunion of the Brough families originated with Mrs.
Wierman, Biglerville and the honor of being elected the first president is
justly due her. A committee of three will be appointed by the president to plan
for the next reunion.
Besides members from the county there were persons present from Harrisburg,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Hanover, Lansford, Passaic, N. J.; Chambersburg,
Frederick, Md., Front Royal, Va., and Sunderland, Mass.
