1987 - Souhrada Family Celebrates their 7th Annual Reunion
   Davis Corners Restaurant and The Town Hall, Saratoga, Iowa
   August 8th and 9th, 1987
   Hosted by Dalyn and Phyllis Souhrada and Leota Campbell


Our 7th Annual Souhrada Reunion was again a joyful event as 19 family members gathered at 6:30 PM on Saturday, August 8, 1987 at the Davis Corners Restaurant for dinner. Dalyn spoke of the history of the Original Souhrada Farm, the farm where he and his wife Phyllis and their family now live and where our 2nd Souhrada Reunion in 1972 was held. He invited anyone who wasn’t at that reunion or anyone interested in seeing this farm that is now 110 years old this year to come the next day at the close of our reunion for a tour of the farm.

Thirty-nine Souhrada family members met the following day, Sunday August 9th at noon in the Town Hall in Saratoga, Iowa for our potluck dinner to celebrate our 7th annual family gathering. For the benefit of family members who did not attend the dinner at Davis Comers the night before, Dalyn again spoke of the history of the 110 year old original Souhrada Farm. This farm is only a couple of miles from where our reunion was held and again he invited all who would be interested to come and see this farm where Vaclav and Kathryn Souhrada raised their 8 children.

The honor of being the oldest family member to attend this reunion was Elizabeth Wosoba Vanicek of Oxford Junction, Iowa, who has good memories of Souhrada gatherings in the Oxford Junction area many years ago. She is the mother of Velma Flynn, and John & Anton Vanicek. Coming from Cedar Falls, Iowa was the youngest, only 4 months old. She was April M. Souhrada, daughter of Todd & Karen Souhrada, granddaughter of Dalyn and Phyllis Souhrada and a great-great granddaughter of Vaclav & Kathryn Souhrada. On Sunday at the close of the reunion many family members accepted DaIyn’s invitation to come and see this Souhrada Century Old Farm Land.
