As we all know, we voted to move Alphonso P. Steele Reunion from the first Saturday of October to the last Saturday of April. This year the date is on April 28, 2012. The reunion is still at the same place. The following, information for the reunion:

Date: April 28, 2012

Place: Confederate Reunion Grounds, Joe Johnston Camp No. 94, Mexia, Limestone County, Texas.

Time: Gates open at 8:00AM, close at 5:00PM.

Park Admission: Adults: $4.00 Children 6-18: $3.00 Under 6: FREE.

Lunch: Pot luck (bring enough meat for your family) and a side dish to share. Lunch will be at noon, 12:00.

We have received the medallions for Alphonso and Mary Ann. Mary Ann's reads CITIZEN OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, 1836 TO 1846. Alphonso reads VETERAN OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS. These medallions will be put on their headstone before the reunion. A ceremony will be perform after lunch at their graveside and anyone can have their picture taken at their headstone.

We would like to thank Jack and Julia Mayo, Julia's hard work and Jack's speed typing, for assembling a display of information and pictures of the Steele family that served our country (descendants of Alphonso). These family members will be honored by prayer and remembrance.
