Reunion News from 1958 thru 1966 Now Available

(posted 5/18/2020) - We've got 20 plus years of Reunion photos and news items on this website pertaining just to Tell and Pearl's clan. But going back to the 50's the reunions were much more extensive (200 plus). If you've ever wondered about who attended those 'Hurt Nation' reunions I invite you to peruse the 'Hurt History' tab on this website (top of this page). The drop-down list of items includes reunions form 1958 through 1966.

I'd like to thank Sara Martin (Johnson - Hurt) and Brenda Trujillo (Hurt) for emailing me scans of old Mattoon IL Journal Gazette columns to fill in some of the early reunion news. I attended virtually all of those large reunions from 1958 through 1969 and remember them fondly.
