Felton Family Reunion at William Felton's Home in Bloomington, Illinois

The various Felton siblings stayed close their whole lives. Many of them worked on the railroads, so they were able to travel by train at little or no cost. Aunt Vivian told me they were always going to see each other, and several of them lived together after their spouses died. Anna Mae took her daughters to several of them in the 1920s and 1930s. Vivian made her first batch of chocolate chip cookies for one of those reunions (and that recipe is the one I use today because it is the best).
