The 1910 Esarey Family Centennial Reunion
Branchville, Indiana
The first Esarey Reunion was held in 1910 at Branchville. The event drew 1,600 Esareys and their relations. The location was "in the chestnut grove west across the creek from Walker Cemetery" (thus west of Ewing Creek and between Branchville and Walker Cemetery) and a series of four panoramic photographs were made (see below). The local paper provides us with a colorful and informative account of the event.

Because the details of the four panoramic photos below are difficult to see, we present them here in three sections for each photograph with slight overlaps.
