In 1987 Ronald Hatfield attended a family reunion in Canton, Texas
where over 250 Hatfield descendants were present. All of the Hatfields
have seemed to have done well in life: doctors, school teachers,
lawyers, ministers, merchants, nurses, con-artists and more.
It has been interesting how generations of values have been passed
down from the beginnings of these families. At these reunions descendants
reflect on great aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins. We walk
through life and our inspirations for our nieces, nephews and grandchildren
carry on eternally....
Yours
Truly,
Great Grandson of Mark Smith Hatfield and Clarinda Bruton,
Ronald Smith Hatfield (deceased)
