Lathrop Reunion - 2019

Yesterday was Lathrop reunion in Fairfield, Illinois.  This is the annual gathering of the descendants of Joel & Louisa (Dove) Lathrop. This year is the 160th anniversary of grandpa Joel's birth and the 141st anniversary of grandma Louisa's birth.  We didn't have a big turnout, but the food and fellowship, as always was great.
