One of the old timers who attend the annual Mayfield picnic Sunday was Maine Brown of Conway, who is remembered as the man who ran out on the logs and pulled David Holliday from the Mayfield pond 42 years ago. The rescue came too late, however, for Holliday drowned. David was a brother of Dr. G. A. Holliday, local practitioner.

One hundred forty-five attended yesterday’s get-together. There was a basket dinner at noon, followed by several hours of interesting reminiscing. Among those in attendance from distant places were.

Mrs. Maude Scott of Romeo, Mrs. Blanche Snyder and children from Marquette. Platte Barnum and his sister Jean Brown, from St. Ignace.  Mr. Barnum is a candidate for state senator.
