110 YEARS AGO

Mayor Joseph Lunn and 46 former Oneonta boys gathered last Friday evening in New York City and sat down to a tempting dinner, smoked some fine Doyle & Smith cigars from the old home town and then proceeded to have a rousingly good time talking over the old days spent on their native heath. Four hours of chumship and friendship reigned as of old and everybody had a real enjoyable time. The occasion was the second annual reunion of native Oneonta boys who are now engaged in pursuits business and professional walks of life in Greater New York and vicinity. There are known to be upwards of a hundred former Oneonta men now doing business and living in the great Metropolis. The fact that 46 of them could assemble for a reunion speaks volumes of the spirit of mutual interest in which these former Oneontans hold each other. The event was chaired by T.D. Tallmadge.
