After a separation of thirty-three years, five aged brothers, one a Paducahan, met in Metropolis this morning and are celebrating their reunion there today. A strange coincidence of their meeting was that today is the anniversary of the birth of three of them, two being twins.
John C. Orr, of Paducah, 60 years old, went to Union Station this morning, where he met the Rev. B. F. Orr, Louisville, who is a Methodist preacher.
Yesterday, James C. Orr, 65 years old, a Methodist preacher of Hickory Grove, KY, and R. L. S. Orr, of Mayfield, a mechanic, contractor and builder, arrived in Paducah, and greeted their brother who lives here.
This morning at 8 o'clock the brothers boarded the steamer Dick Fowler and went to Metropolis, where they met the fifth brother, Dr. J. A. Orr, 65 years old, a prominent physician of that place.
Their meeting was of sadness and happiness and tears came to their eyes as they looked upon each other for the first time since 1877.
Today is the birthday of Dr. Orr, of Metropolis, and the Rev. James C. Orr, of Hickory Grove. It is also the day of the birth of John Orr, of Paducah. They will return tomorrow and leave for their respective homes.
