A fine 1959 Steam Engine Show was held at Greenville, Ohio.
Plans are in the making for another one in 1960.
We had a total of 15 steam engines –10 different makes. We also
had Baker, Case, Rumely, separators, an O. S. Kelly Springfield
hand fed web stacker 1893 separator owned by Charles Ditmer. Also
an Advance Rumely Corn Husker and a Birdsall Clover Huller.
Since The 1959 Reunion we have acquired a Rumely Huller and a
Red River Special separator, A-28-48. Also have purchased a saw
mill and an E-B baler with a 6 hp gas engine on it. Also have a
teeter-totter and a Baker fan and Serval gas tractors and steam
models. Eventually we will have a larger display of large steam and
gas tractors, small steam and gas engines. We are planning on a
large crowd to attend our Round and Square Dance on Friday and
Saturday evenings.
Officers and Directors elected at our meeting held last
September are as follows: Sylvester Ditmer, President; Charles
Ditmer, Vice President; Mildred Ary, Secretary; Harold Ary,
Treasurer. Board of Directors: Homer Holp, Clark Davidson, Arthur
Hieland, Elmer Egbert , Vernie Brown, Don Brewer, Hugh

Our planned date for 1960 Reunion is July 15, 16, 17 at the
