The occasion for writing this book was the fact that Fred and Anne Single were observing their 50th Wedding Anniversary on July 5, 1980. It was felt by many members of the family that this would be a good time to have a Single Family Reunion the following day on July 6, 1980. The accounts given in this book are as received from all those individuals who were good enough to take time to record their families' history. If there may appear some conflict in dates or incidents please note it is being recorded as we received it and this happens because people differ in remembering the past.
