JSL 200th Birthday Reunion

Help us celebrate James Stapleton Lewis' 200th birthday by joining us at the JSL Family Reunion on July 25th and 26th in Albion, Idaho, where he lived the last part of his life. Albion is in the mountains southeast of Burley, Idaho.

On Friday evening we will have a soup supper at the home of Dorothy Clark who lives on the JSL homestead. It's a relaxed evening of conversation and getting acquainted.

The main reunion will be held in the Albion LDS church building from 10 a.m. to late afternoon. Meet cousins, share family history, and be inspired by our pioneer ancestors. The potluck lunch will begin at noon.

If you can find Albion, Idaho, you will be able to find the church house. Dorothy Clark's house is a couple miles southwest of the church. Just head for the row of lombardy poplars - they were planted by JSL himself and make a great landmark. You'll find us sitting in the shade under the trees enjoying the company of "cousins."
