FAMILY REUNION AT
NORTHERN’S
(Source: Lebanon Democrat, August
16, 1928)
Four
generations of the Northern families assembled at a reunion at the home of
Thomas Y. Northern on the Coles Ferry pike here Thursday. More than one hundred
and thirty persons from this and adjoining states, all direct descendants of the
early Northerns, pioneer Wilson county family, assembled at the ancestral home,
and enjoyed the all day reunion and dinner on the grounds.
The family of Beryl Northern of Nashville, which included four generations, was
present. Visitors from Kentucky and Alabama and several cities in Tennessee were
also present. The Program for the day had been worked out in a delightful
fashion and was featured by a basket dinner and barbecue on the ground at
noon.
Thomas Y.
Northern, the forefather, came to Tennessee from Virginia about 1830. He was
married to Polona Jane Smith of Wilson county in 1842, and they lived in
Davidson county until 1879, coming from there to Wilson county and living there
until their death. Of their thirteen children only four now survive, B.S.
Northern of Nashville; T. D. Northern of Lebanon; B. T. Northern of Lebanon and
Mrs. Obe Arrington of Greenwood, all of whom were present.
About one hundred of the relatives drove from Alabama, Kentucky, and surrounding
counties of Tennessee to be present. A large number of relatives were unable to
attend. Fifty or more of their old friends and neighbors were also present.
