1873: Early Rushville settlers over 70 reunite
150 Years Ago February 6, 1873 An Extraordinary Meeting - On Saturday the 11th of January 1873 occurred at the residence of Stephen Ferguson, near Rushville, an assemblage of people unprecedented, perhaps, in the annals of our country. Mr. Ferguson’s 75th birthday occurring on that day, he took measures to observe it, by inviting all the old people within the circle of his acquaintance who had attained to the age of three-score and ten, to meet at his house on that occasion. So, he issued the invitation, and spent several days in personal visits, that he might be sure to include all who had survived long enough to entitle them to the honor.
