1000 Descendants
* * * Of Thomas Carney
* At Annual Reunion
WHEN "Uncic" Thomas Carney "was asked by 's "frlend for a badly needed loan he didn't require & #igned note or any form of se- curity. A man's word was good enough for all that.
And "Uncle" Thomas, as he was known to all. was his own bank. He kept his money secreted some- where about his homestead. But Just where no one has ever been able to learn. "Uncle" Thomas died several years ago.
All of this was recalled Sunday when more than 1000 descendants and friends gathered for the fifth annual reunion in commemoration of Mr. Carney. The celebration was held on the old Carney homestead. 14 miles south of Crane, Stone county.
"Uncle" Joe Overstreet of near Crane, a pioneer of that community and a Descendant of the Carney family, was master of ceremonies. He was alded by Judge Charles L. Henson of Mount Vernon, who re- called many incidente told to him about the"early days of that sec-
tion of the Ozarks.
Descendants and friends of the Carney family came to the cele- bration from many states to join In the fete. Traveling the farthest were Mr. and Mrs. Linn Carney of San Francisco, and Mr. and Mra. Elijah Luster of Los Angeles.
Henry Carney. an old settler of that section, now of Cape Pair. Mo .. wu present. He has not been able to hear a word spoken since the battle of Wilson Creek. Mr. Carney. then a boy, heard the cannon and flring of other guns on this me- morable day. The roaring caused deafness.
