From the Macon Beacon, 3 January 1898; The Lucas Re-Union:
On September 17th, 1844 Eliza Parke Longstreet was married to Walter B. Lucas at Macon, Mississippi, and December 25, 1897, all their descendants, with the exception of Mrs. Harry B. Rigg of North Yakima, Washington, came together at the home of Mrs. Lucas, which has been in or near Macon ever since her marriage, with the exception of a few years spent at the A. & M. College, where her husband had charge of the boarding department and where four of her sons were educated. It was here Mr. Lucas died March 1893 [sic] from the effects of injuries received in a cyclone.
If somebody had not done it before, Mrs. Lucas would probably have originated re-unions, but as they had been originated, she could only instigate this one. She began early and met with no opposition. The re-union came in installments. A Christmas tree at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Featherston, December 24th, for the little folks of the family was an occasion of much merriment and genuine pleasure.
By Saturday morning the delegations were all on the ground and all full -- politically speaking. The weather outdoors and in was no relation to itself, and all went merry as a half a dozen marriage bells. Sixty people -- doctors and children predominating -- partook of a sumptuous dinner with Miss Fan E. Minor as engineer. After the re-union betook itself to the veranda where a picture of the entire group was taken as a souvenir and a group representing four generations, Mrs. Fannie Lucas Featherston, Dr. James W. Eckford and little Fannie Delle Eckford.
