Berry and Agnew family members began a tradition of visiting on a Sunday in August each year since 1946 at home of Louis and Jessie Berry. Family members decided to officially orangize a family reunion by establishing a committee to be responsible for working to keep this fellowship going on. The Berry-Aqnew Family reunion was established on August 31, 1954 at the home of Louis and Jessie Berry in Simpsonville, South Carolina.Cousin Gieneva "Tonts" Agnew Mansell and Jessie Sullivan Berry conceived the idea of the Official Family Reunion. Early Charter Members founding members of the first reunion committee included Jessie Sullivan Berry, Cristal amd Gieneva Agnew Mansell, J.C. and Carrie Sullivan Black, Thedie Mae Berry Agnew Goldsmith, Willie Berry, Paul Bobbie Mae Berry McIntosh and Ruby McKinney, Clarkie Sullivan Agnew, Beatrice "Bea" Wofford Burts and many others. The offical reunion day was set for the third Sunday in August of each year.The reunion was given the name Berry, Agnew, and Wofford. Over the years I heard reunion included the Mansell and Sullivan in the name but became the Berry-Agnew as family established their own reunion. and Carrie Sullivan Black, Louise and Jessie Sullivan Berry, and Asbery and Clarkie Sullivan Agnew. After Louis and Jessie Sullivan Berry moved to Greenville. The reunion was held at the Green Forest Recreation Center Park and the "White House" which was located above Fieldcrest Villiage ( now known as the Jessie Jackson Townhomes).
