Descendants of Malachi and Susan Shoemaker

I have the Shoemaker Reunion book that was kept from 1882, when the family of Malachi and Susan Shoemaker first met until 1969.  The book has some interesting facts that I will share from time to time.

The first entry in the book is “1882 – October – First Shoemaker Reunion at Sara Spauldings.  Sara Spaulding  daughter of Malachi and Susan Shoemaker died Dec. 11, 1893 at the age of 62 years.”  Obviously someone did this book in retrospect.  The following few pages list the years and place of the reunion.
