OVER 200 Colletts and McKays met in their annual reunion in Clinton County on the 13th.The Clinton Republican, Wilmington, Ohio, Page 4.
The twenty-sixth annual Collett-McKay picnic occurred at the usual place Saturday, August 13, 1892, an average crowd being present. The day was perfect for the occasion, dry and still, and neither too warm nor two cold. A good many guests were present, but the large part of the crowd were there by right of birth or marriage. The three hundred people or more confined themselves almost entirely to two things, the serving of the dinner, which was abundant and elegant, and then a long and pleasant visit about the board. No one gets very far away, and young and old, from grand parents to babies, mingle together in a happy, congenial company. Long may this family continue to prosper, long may they yearly gather together, and long may they make us welcome.
