Herman clan gathers To celebrate the coming to Clinton in 1879 of Edward Herman, over 100 of his descendants gathered here on the weekend of June 23 and 24. Gordon Herman welcomed all to town from his store on the main street and his home on Princess Street. A bountiful supper was served to the family at St. Paul's Parish Hall on Saturday evening, when the eldest of each of the branches was called uppn to introduce his family members. Edward Herman and his wife Ellen had 13 children, eight born in England and five in Canada. Nine of these had families of their own and eight of the nine were represented at the reunion. The only sur- viving member of Edward and Ellen's large family is 89 -year-old Mrs. Gladys Draper of Huronview. On Sunday morning many of the visitors attended the service at St. Paul's where the Hermans have attended since 1879. Several have sung in the choir there, beginning with Edward himself. For 34 years, Nell (Herman) Fremlin was organist. Following the church service, a picnic was held at the Conservation Area Park south of Clinton. The Bayfield river has been the scene of many a happy Herman Sunday picnic over the years, but none so large as this. In spite of a few mishaps with the wind, all present were served lunch and spent a very pleasant time visiting and reminiscing. Gladys Draper came to spend some time with her family. Other guests were present from Quebec, Toronto, Van- couver, Southern California, Arizona, London, Waterloo, Centralia, Harriston, Hanover, Durham and other places. This has been a memorable weekend for the Herman family, and a dream come, true for many of them.
