Ueltschey Reunions

In June we had a weekend full of reunions in Forest. The most interesting was a ceremony and reception to reveal a new historical marker for the Ueltschey Tannery in Morton. We had the chance to see many several Ueltschey cousins as well as visit with several state senators who came for the big event. This marker had been destroyed over time, and over the past several years the Morton Homemakers raised the funds to have the sign replaced. Marcus shared with the group the history of Albert Ueltschey, his great great grandfather, who founded the tannery during the Civil War. We were all relieved when the sign was "unveiled" that the spelling of the family name was correct!!

There was also a family reunion later that same day with another part of the Ueltschey family, which Marcus and his brother and two of our kids made an appearance for. That same night, he had a small get together with some high school friends who were in town. What a weekend of reunions!
