In the famous old Great House garden at Economy last Sunday afternoon
about 300 men, women and children
gathered under the trees, scattered in
groups around picnic tables, strolled
into and out of the Great House, or
grouped about tho outdoor registration
table where each received a tag with
his or her name on it, or around the
table where thoso famous Economite
ginger cookies mado by tho old recipo
woro on sale. It was the fourth annual
rounion of the Old Timers, an organization of former residents of Economy
and descendants or relatives of the former membors of tho Harmony Society.
Old acquaintances woro ronowod, and
tho youngor gonoration woro shown and
told about tlio picturosquo rolics of tho
quaint Olden times.
Thoro wero members and visitors
from near and far, and thoy enjoyod
tho informal chatting and visiting until
thoro issued from tho Groat Houso a
rather remarkable littlo parade. In tho
load was John S. Duss, arrayed in tho
Ol6-Z3imes Reunion at TEconom?
wine-colored velvet gown and cap used
by Father Rapp, ancient patron saint
of thc Economites; the gown had not
been used since Father Rapp's death in
1847, Mr. Duss said. Following him
wero Old^Timors Miss Mary Fruth, Miss
Christiana Knoodler, and Hattie Sofflcl
Van Horn, all in the light-blue summer
costumes of the Economito women, and
with tho samo bright and winning smiling faces old-timors remember; and
Charles Rye, with chin-beard, broad-
brimmed sun-hat and overalls, as in tho
old farming days.
Then began a program under tho
trees, 'announced' by Mr. Duss, president of the Old-Timers organization.
William C. Jessen made tho principal
address; there was a trumpet duct by
Regis Schuster and William FritScl.;
Eloanor Kay Hutchinson,, daughter of
Dr. and Mrs, Wi J. Hutchinson of Lark
Inn Fields, gave a reading; Mrs. K. R.
Wagner gave a talk full of reminiscences of tho old Economy days and recit
ed a poem dedicated to thc Economites.
A short business session eleeted Mr.
Duss, president; Austin H. Hobciiing of
Fair Oaks vice president; Miss Kuoed-
lor and Martha Larson recording secretaries; Clara Rye Walker and Mario M.
Jessen corresponding secretaries; Imo-
geno Baudor Molmark treasurer. And
as committee chairmen, Mrs. Van Horn,
ginger cakes, Miss Lillian V. Brown,
supplies, Edna Franz Dailoy, registration, William C. Jessen and Collins
Bruff, marshals, and Mr. Ryo, reception.
After informal picnic suppers a program of old-time song3 and motion pictures Continued in St. John's Lutheran
Ohurch. Rov. Mr. Gilbert showed motion
pictures of tho Harmony and Economito settlements which ho had taken
recently. Rov. L. L. Hasoloy, pastor of
tho church, greeted the assemblage in
tho church.
■Recent appropriation by the Pennsylvania legislature has made it possiblo
to do somo repair and restoration work
in tho garden and buildings, which had
suffered much from neglect since the
State took tho place over as a historic
monument; but Mr. Duss has been doing
everything possiblo to have tho legislators realize its truo value, and provide
for Economy's real restoration and upkeep in the manner they seem glad to
do for historic shrines of no greater
importance which lie iri Eastern Pennsylvania. Ho has received somo encouragement, and a couple of senators
recently visited the place and wore
deeply impressed by what thoy saw;
but it will take still moro porsistent
effort to got Pennsylvania to romody
this long neglect of the uniquo historic
place after taking possession of it for
tho purpose of permanent preservation.
Meanwhile, such old-timors' reunions
as that of Sunday do much to keep tho
old atmosphero and tradition from bo-
ing entirely forgotten by tho younger
generations who havon't personal ro-
mombranco of this onco busy, useful
and successful community.
