*This years annual reunion is being moved from the Loretto Civic Center to Mary’ Chapel Nazarene Church just across the state line from the Loretto, Tennessee location of past years.
We start about 10-11am on Saturday with a covered dish pitch in lunch. Family history charts, books and pictures are on display.
Littrell, Smith, Sandy & Ellis lines are in attendance as well as distant lines and old friends. In most cases the reunion itself is limited to the pitch in dinner but each branch may have their own 'ritual' Friday and/or Sunday.
Generally following the lunch or sometimes on Sunday if there is enough interest some of us may get together to caravan around the area to visit cemeteries, homesteads, or neighborhoods. There's also the annual pilgrimage to "Littrell Road"
There is a motel in Killeen, Al., but there are also several motels in Lawrenceburg, TN., nearby. Its about a 20-30 minute drive from both to Loretto.
Maps and directions will be forthcoming [Favorite or Bookmark this site/page].

1993 Reunion:
After the dinner Dean and her husband Joe Brown, Christine Littrell-Bryer, Gary Littrell and his wife Kathy, and myself went cruising through Loretto to the intersection of Main St. and Littrell Rd. to take a picture of OUR street sign. After ending up on a dirt road near someplace called the "Powell Bottoms", we split up and hit the road.
Two years before [at the 91 Reunion], the six of us connected with Wynell Estes, piled into the back of "Doc" Urban’s pick-up, headed off-road through cow pastures and over hill and dale to visit the secluded graveyard [Old Selena Cemetery] where Timmons and Mary Catherine Urban-Littrell are buried.
For those of you like myself who didn't grow-up in the Lawrence County area you would be surprised at the presence our ancestors have in the region. The Littrell-Luttrell name is on tombstones scattered throughout the areas cemeteries. Even the names of some cemeteries have a family connection [Smothermen & Killen].
Our ancestors [Rhodham Luttrell and his siblings] and the associated families [Comer, Smith, Sandy, Ezell, Urban, and Landtroop's] were among the first settlers arriving in the area prior to 1820, and these names are found in the areas history and landscapes.. The region is very beautiful this time of year and a Sunday drive can take on new significance when you realize your roots are well planted in the history of the region. I encourage everyone to visit the area with their family and what better time than on Columbus Day Weekend for the Reunion.
