Thanks for asking about the Dyer-Souther Reunion 
Family Life Center, Choestoe Baptist Church
It is nearly always the THIRD SATURDAY in JULY--this year, July 17, 2010--beginning at 11:00 a. m. at the Family Life Center, Choestoe Baptist Church.
We will have a special grave-marker dedication service this year for Bluford Elisha Dyer, Jr. (abt. 1780 NC - April 15, 1847, Choestoe, Union County), our first Dyer relative who was in Union County and established in 1834 when the first census of the new (1832) Union County was taken. He was buried in a private grave on his farm and Harold Dyer, a descendant, has given us permission to erect a stone at or as nearly as possible on the site of his burial. His wife, Elizabeth Clark Dyer (abt. 1785-June 7, 1861), it is believed, was not buried beside her husband, but in the Old Choestoe Cemetery.
We will also have special dedication services for the restored and better-marked gravesite of Bluford Elisha, Jr.'s grandson, the son of his eldest daughter, Sarah Elizabeth (Sallie) Dyer--the famous Micajah Clark Dyer, who invented the "Apparatus for Navigating the Air" and recieved a patent for it in September, 1874. His grave and that of his wife are in the Old Choestoe Cemetery. The Micajah Clark Foundation is providing the assets for marking his grave with a replica of his invention--the same drawing that was on his patent--on his new grave marker.
And, third, at New Liberty Baptist Church, between the gravestones of John Souther and his wife, Mary "Polly" Combs Souther, a marker has been erected stating that the land for that church and cemetery were a deeded gift to the church by this couple. This marker, too, will be dedicated at our July 17 Reunion.
Following the program, in the afternoon, a pilgrimage to the graves will be a part of the activities of the day.
Isn't this exciting? We also hope to have a brief history of the Choestoe Baptist Church as part of the day's program, with word about the churches that were founded/sponsored by Choestoe Church in those early years from 1832, the possible founding date of Choestoe (we have minutes intact from 1834, complete--and the church was already organized and functioning in 1834, which indicates that it was founded before then, exact date unknown.)
