Old ties, new beginnings: a record of a 1884 Tri-State reunion in Keokuk that blends history, community, and memory.

This nonfiction account captures the planning, ceremonies, and social gatherings surrounding the first reunion of the Tri-State Old Settlers' Association for Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. Set in Rand Park, Keokuk, it documents the people, the program, and the spirit of an event that aimed to honor pioneers and strengthen regional ties.

The book presents the defining moments and details of the day—from the invitation outreach and the day’s weather turning pleasant, to speeches by notable figures and the dedication of a monument to a Sac Chief. It also includes the constitution, committee lists, and the evolution of the organization that began with regional cooperation and memory of early settlement.

A clear account of who organized the reunion and how it was planned, including invitations and scheduling.
Descriptions of the day’s program, speakers, and musical selections that shaped the event.
Foundational documents such as the constitution, officer rosters, and committee assignments.
Historical notes on Keokuk and the Sac Chief Keokuk, linking place names to local memory.

Ideal for readers of local history, 19th‑century community events, and preservation of regional heritage.
