Descendants of Hartselle founder George Hartselle will gather at the Fine Arts Center in Hartselle for their fourth reunion since 2000 on Friday and Saturday,  Sept. 16-17.
A banquet-style dinner is planned at the Fine Arts Center on Friday at 6 p. m. as the kickoff event for the reunion. A breakfast meeting will follow on Saturday at 8 a.m.
Family members will be invited to take in the festivities of the Depot Days celebration downtown and attend the unveiling of a historical marker at the old railroad depot at 12:15 p.m. Afterwards, they will reconvene at the Fine Arts Center for a time of sharing stories about the town’s early history and family happenings. A visit to local cemeteries where family members are buried will follow.
“We expect to have a large crowd, including several family members from out-of-state,” said Betty White English, one of the event’s organizers. “But we’re still looking for those who haven’t come before. Anyone with a Hartselle family connection is welcome.”
Reservations are needed for the dinner and breakfast. To make reservations, call Betty English at 256-773-9390 or Carolyn Johnson at 773-6068.
