I got this info off of Bertie Schmutz Facebook page. She actually has some pictures, but I can't get them on here. Not sure if I can make this, but I'd sure love to!

This year’s program will be about you and your family and your responsibility to your posterity. Where would our Crosby family be without Jesse Wentworth Crosby’s Journal, without Uncle Sam Crosby’s book on Jesse’s life and all of Jesse’s descendants family history, without the records passedto us from Aunt Hannah Crosby Hall and from those preserved by our cousin Mildred Bunker Bowler. Also from the other written and oral histories of our grandparents and parents. We owe all of them a great deal of gratitude not only for their lives but what they have preserved for us.
Our cousin, Carlyle Savage’s son, Paul Savage will be at the reunion to tell you about his book, “From Switzerland to St. George: The John and Barbara (Bryner) Mathis Story”. Grandmother Lena Mathis Crosby was the daughter of John and Barbara Bryner Mathis, our maternal great-grand parents and along with their parents were the first Latter-day Saint converts in Switzerland. They were also the first Swiss converts to immigrate to the U.S.and original settlers in Utah’s Dixie.
