2018 Clay Family Reunion

2018 Clay Family Reunion was a great success and a wonderful time for reconnecting to relatives from near and far. Thanks to Lindsey and his wife Rose for bringing Aunt Virginia by traveling from Pennsylvania to Atlanta and then to Clintwood.  We missed some who didn’t make it this year, but hope to see you next year.  We enjoyed every minute with those who could come. After the luncheon, several of us traveled to visit the graves of Great Grandfather Jiles Clay and his two wives at Lebanon Church on Caney Ridge. The cemetery is on the top of a high ridge with great long distance views. I hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did.  Here are some of the best pictures.
