At the ninth annual reunion of the Hain family held on September 15, 1940, a committee was appointed to arrange for the printing of the record of the descendants of George and Veronica Hain. The basis of this record was the chapter of the Hain family prepared by Mrs. Frances Hain Swope and printed in the 1935 edition of the History of St. John's (Hain's) Reformed church, which in turn was compiled from the voluminous data gathered by Henry B. Werner.
