One family, the Golden Family, will meet during the holiday weekend for a century of meeting together, 100 years. The most popular story of the first reunion is that the matriarch of the family, Dolly Golden, requested of the man who married her daughter Dollie that if he moved her to California, he would bring her back to visit each year on her September 1st birthday. He made that promise and kept it each year before his death on April 19, 1989. at age 92.
