That's really a fascinating story about the stone club. I'm going to have to ask my Mom if she's ever heard of it. Of course, Norred (actually the one I'm thinking of is Alvin Nored, a long time lawyer here), Newton, and Hibler are familiar names around here. One of the old stone buildings near McGills I know as the Hibler building... Burnet County is my home county and though I lived in Bertram about a year when I was in high school, I'm not really "from" Bertram (though I've got relatives that were). I also have ancestors that had shops in Burnet in the late 1800s and early 1900s - so they probably knew your relatives! Anyhow, sure, drop me an email - my Mom and mother-in-law probably know more about the older days than I, but they like to share too. In the meantime, I'll ask them if they've heard of James Calvin Norred. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
