The Needham family of Western New York, descendants of Charles Needham and Eveline Martin, held regular family reunions for many years, well into the 1950's. These were energized by Eliza Needham Trevett and later by Alice Needham Faulring and her daughter Ethel Faulring Zahler. As time passed and later generations lost touch, and reunions were limited to family members who remained the the Boston, New York area. The picture above was taken in 1940 at the Grange Hall in Boston, during that year's reunion.
