Couchman family reunion held
The annual Couchman reunion met Sunday, Sept. 13, 2009 at the Allerton Civic Center. This reunion was started in 1924 to honor George Couchman and Susanna Kraft, who were married in 1855. Their nine children were Maria, George, Philip, Henry, Charles, Elizabeth, Timothy, Lena and Franklin. Forty-eight of these children's descendants were in attendance from Iowa and Missouri.
George Couchman's descendants in attendance were Zula Couchman, Ken and Careece Thompson of Lisbon; Merrell and Michelle Couchman, Andrew and Jennifer Peterson with Aubrey, Jeremy and Alicia Germain with Preston, all from Hudson; Tammo and Nichole Wagner of Davenport, Dennis and Cheryl Housh of Seymour, Brandon and Dena Clark with Brynn of Centerville, Raymond and Ruby Couchman and Pauline Couchman of Corydon, Sharon LaFollette of Chariton, Naomi Morris of Waterloo; Verda Gorden of Corydon, who will be 107 on Oct. 15; and Milo and Norma Bettis of Allerton.
Descendants of Henry Couchman's were Jack and Linda Couchman of Corydon, Kenneth Couchman of Ankeny, Jeanie Couchman of Pleasant Hill, and Bill and Carol Lutze of Lucerne, Mo.
Charles Couchman's descendants attending were Marvin Couchman of Moravia, Lenora Couchman of Corydon, and Grace Ann Roe of Allerton.
Descendants of Timothy Couchman's were Mildred Cobb and Sandra J. Brown of Corydon, Gayle Wasson of Allerton, Paul and Beverly Couchman of Ames, and Joyce Carpenter of Des Moines.
Lena (Couchman) Bettis' descendants in attendance were Linda Musser of Ogden and Sherry Free of Boone.
Descendants of Franklin Couchman's were Bob and Shirley Sowles of Des Moines and Jay and Gloria Couchman of Unionville, Mo.
The second Sunday of September is always the reunion date, so Sept. 12, 2010, is the date for next year's Couchman Reunion.
