100th Annual Wissmiller-Fink Reunion June 25, 2023We gathered at the First Presbyterian Church in Gibson City on June 25th for the 100th annual Wissmiller Reunion. Julie Wissmiller was a great help in organizing the reunion this year, tracking down wayward family members and sending very nice invitation cards to all. Thanks, Julie! We had 43 attendees, a record number in recent years, and enjoyed conversation and comradery, along with great home style food. Aaron Wissmiller shared some books and pictures about our shared heritage in central Illinois. After the meal, we held the family business meeting.
