The first Reunion of the Association was held at Hartford, Conn. The
attendance was not large, but great enthusiasm was manifested in the work and
aims of the organization. Col. Chas. H. Olmstead, of New York City, had an
interesting paper, upon " Civil War Memories and Incidents.'" Mr. John
Griffith Olmstead, of New York City, gave some reminiscences of the emigrant
settlers—
James and Richard Olmsted; and Miss Caroline Judson Ca^ef also
read a paper which was greatly enjoyed. A photo group of the meiqbers
was taken.
Rev. Robert H. Burton, of Plainville, Conn., presided at this meeting, and
a constitution was adopted.
The Associa*^ion has grown rapidly in numbers and strength since the first
meeting and there are now (1912) nearly 200 members upon the roll. All
descendants bearing the Olmsted name, and all other Olmsted descendants
are eligible to membership.
