What the source supports

That George W. Atkinson of Berryville was among the family at the Wardens' anniversary in 1923.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. The February item prints his surname "Atkin son" and does not say how he was related to the Wardens. That the "Geo. Atkinson" of the March guest list is he rests on the name. No kinship record is made.
