TheAntonides Family Reunion will be held at the Lima-Brighton Elementary School, Howe, IN, on Sunday, August 14, 2005. The Reunion's theme is a celebration of the arrival of the family's founder in America three centuries ago. The traditional potluck dinner will be served at 12 noon, Indiana time.

The Rev. Vincentius Antonides came to America from the Netherlands in 1705, to pastor the Dutch Reformed Church on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. His descendants helped establish the United States at Valley Forge, and defended the nation in combat from the War of 1812 to Bastagone. They developed farms and businesses, established a mail route through the wilderness, and surveyed Miamisburg, OH. Family members maintain these traditions of achievement and service to America.

All direct and collateral members of the Antonides family are cordially invited to join in this memorial to the Rev. Vincentius Antonides at the Antonides Family Reunion, August 14, 2005. The Lima Brighton Elementary School is on the north side of Howe, IN, at Market and 4th Streets.
