About 75 descendants of Christian Gotlieb and Marie Jacobine Knaus Kies attended a family reunion June 14 at Cape Girardeau County Park.
Chairpersons were Mary Masters and Phil Penzel. Most of those attending were from Cape Girardeau, Jackson, St. Louis, and Prattville, Ala.
The reunion is held on the Sunday before Father's Day. The next will be in 1994, with David Kies Jr. and Rick Blattner as chairmen.
