Wyly, Would love to hear what you can relate about the old Texas League .. My Dad grew up near Morgan Mill. After he married Ottis Blackwell from Lipan, Hood County, they lived at Tolar and he was a ball player in the early 1900's. At least one year Mom ran a boarding house for the team members. Dad was Irving Mack Patterson. His "Uncle Dave", David Patterson was an Erath County Commissioner in the early 1900's. Grandmother, Trecy Louella Hightower Patterson and two sons are buried at Hightower Cemetery between Morgan Mill and Lipan. There is also a Patterson Plot there where many of the other Patterson Clan are buried. Many thanks .. I love reading your posts .. even when I don't know the people! Sue Patterson Skinner
