64th annual In'nes'reun'ion ... «an, .. «4 wu'r' ' in St. Pauls attracts 90, some as far away as Winnipeg . The descendants of James Innes and Isobel Taylor held their 64th annual reunion on Aug. 14 in St. Pauls, 0nt., attracting 90 Innes rel- atives from the local area and from as far away as Winnipeg and Michigan. I'WH' . The Innes clan dates back hun- dreds of years, with its own tartan, crest and coat of arms. James Innes was born in Insch, Scotland in 1776, marrying Isobel sometime around the turn of the century. He died in 1836 and is buried in Insch, but Isobel and six of the Innes children emigrated to Canada in the 1840's, beginning the history of the Innes clan in Southwestern On- tario. Norma Howe of Embro is -the great-granddaughter of Alexander Innes. Alexander was the first of the Innes sons to come to Canada, arriving in 1843 and eventually set- tling in Zorra. Howe is secretary of the Innes Reunion, and has at- tended many reunions over the years. "I've always liked (the reun- ions)," said Howe. "We never missed them when I was a kid." "It's fun because I know my mother's generation and my gen- eration," she said, adding that the real test is to figure out the younger generations of the Innes lineage, The oldest of the Innes clan in at- tendance were Charles Lupton Sr., Rev. Dr. John Moses of St... John's United Church was invested as Chaplain of the 12th St. John's group last Sunday at the church's Sunday service.

Kenneth and Carol Innes and fam-- ily made the trek from Winnipeg. The Innes clan motto is "Be faithful," a sentiment that local Innes descendants seem to take to heart -- they are already looking forward to the 65th Innes Reunion in August 1995.
