Frank Russell Claflin, who died in 1936, left funds in his will to support the activities of family gatherings which support our Annual Reunion to this day. At the 1946 reunion, a long-time Claflin Family secretary, Bertha Summer Draper wrote “this tradition must be kept alive, but in order to do so, we appeal to our younger generation,for when the present officers and friends have gone, the younger members must carry on our work.” This is still so true!
