- Mrs. Lola Winder Hosts Vincents; Family Reunion Held Easter Sunday.
Easter week visitors at the home of Mrs. Lola Winder in Dayton were Major and Mrs. Joseph E. Vincent and daughters, Diane and Joann, of Redlands, Calif.
Mrs. Vincent, the former Ruth Winder, is now a registered nurse working in Redlands. She completed her training and graduated from Orange Coast College of Nursing last fall after entering on her return from Mexico two years ago. Her training had been interrupted by marriage, the war and travel overseas.
Major Vincent, retired, is editor of the magazine, "Science of Man", an archaeology and anthropology publication produced in Mentone, Calif.
Family Members
Twenty-four members of Mrs. Winder's family gathered at the county fair grounds for Easter day dinner after attending church. This is the first time in almost 18 years that all five of Mrs. Winder's daughters have been home with her at the same time.
Mrs. Duane Huwe, the former Donna Winder, was discharged from a Walla Walla hospital Easter morning following major surgery on her knee the previous week. Even though on crutches, she and her family attended the dinner and enjoyed the visiting. The children were treated to an Easter egg hunt on the grounds.
Old Homestead
Major Vincent and Mrs. Winder spent Tuesday touring Milton, Irrigon and Umapine, Oregon. Major Vincent's study of the genealogy of his family led him to Umapine, formerly Vincent, Oregon, where his family homesteaded. He has spent many of his spare hours on this study and plans to return next summer when he will have more time to spend in tracing the old timers of the two families.
The Vincents left Wednesday, stopping in Salt Lake City and Provo, Utah, where he was to give lictures on Saturday and Sunday, before returning to Montone college in California.
