The related Lantz, Eichelberger, Patterson, and Stoner, families of Kendall, Kane, Will, and DuPage Counties will hold their 95th annual reunion Sunday, Aug. 13, at Hudson Crossing Park, on Harrison Street at the east end of the Oswego U.S. Route 34 bridge in Oswego.
The Lantz and Stoner families began their annual family reunion tradition in 1927 with separate gatherings. In 1939, the two families decided to combine their reunions, and they’ve met on the second Sunday in August ever since, except in 2020 when the reunion was canceled due to the worldwide pandemic.
The Reunion’s traditional potluck dinner will begin at noon sharp. Those attending are invited to bring table service, a dish to pass, chicken, or other meat sufficient for their family and to share, drinks, and their favorite family memorabilia to share with those attending.
All members of the Lantz, Stoner, Patterson, Eichelberger, Slick, Schaal and other families related to John and Daniel Lantz, who settled in Wheatland and Naperville Townships in 1850, or any descendants of Baltzer Lantz, who immigrated to Pennsylvania from the German Palatinate in 1750, are invited to attend and enjoy food and family fellowship.
Volunteers are needed to help with table set-up at 11 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 13 at Hudson Crossing Park. Call Wanda Horton at 630-947-4559 for more information, or to volunteer.
For more information, call 331-999-5028 or 630-947-4559, or send an Email to rnsmatile@gmail.com.
