Alexander and Nancy Vest are you from? I am going to attach a couple of pictures. In the large family picture. Lewis Cass LaMaster (my great-grandfather) is holding his son Glen with his wife Rosa Williams to his right. The two little girls in white are his daughters, Lucille and the smallest, Sula (my grandmother) In the back row, the second from the right is Roy LaMaster and to his right the small woman is Elsie Yount LaMaster, his wife. We think the man with the mustache is Melvin LaMaster, their brother. Some people think it might be John A. LaMaster. The second is the LaMaster brother's with their instruments. Sitting with fiddles are Cass and Walter LaMaster. Standing are Jeremiah LaMaster and Roy. This picture was taken at the same time as the other one (same location, Cass and Roy have on the same clothes) In my opinion, if John A. "Brooker" LaMaster was the older man with the mustache in the other picture he would be in this picture with his fiddle, as he was a well known fiddle player. John A. LaMaster's obituary HIS FIDDLE STILLED FOREVER John A. LaMaster, aged 89 died at the home of his son, Cass LaMaster near Lexington, early Friday morning. Mr. LaMaster had lived in Scott County all his life, and was known to hundreds by his nickname "Brooker". He was a natural born violinist and nothing pleased him better than to have an audience surrounding him and his fiddle, and he could play for hours. He is survived by his sons, Cass, Walter, Roy, Mell, Jerry of Scottsburg and Richard of Terre Haute. The funeral was held at the home of Cass LaMaster at 2 p.m. Saturday, with burial in charge of H. B. Littell at Clegg Cemetery near Henryville. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
