Waller family reunion
Descendants of George Henry Waller and Susan Linnie Thompson Waller share their family heritage every year with the annual family reunion. The first reunion was held Aug. 24, 1947 at the home of William Luther Waller, oldest son of George Henry and Susan Linnie, with about 120 family and friends attending.
The reunion has been held every year since except 1948 during the polio epidemic. George Henry and Susan Linnie were the parents of 11 children. Their descendants are scattered across the United States and many make the trip home for this annual event.
The family now meets at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church on Highway 801 in Mt. Ulla. The reunion is held the fourth Sunday in July with a covered dish luncheon at 1 p.m. This reunion will be Sunday, July 28.
Family and friends may bring photos and family genealogy to share. The Waller family has long shared a history with St. Luke’s Lutheran Church and many family members are buried in the church cemetery. All descendants of this Waller Family are invited.
