    1. [TXLLANO] Indian Heads
    2. Lillie Kelly
    3. Reading the story that Clay Lake posted, reminded me of the time when I was little, which was in 1926. My grandfather James T. Maxwell owned land in Tow, Llano County Texas. Grandfather had died way before my time in 1912, and after that some of his children always lived on the place to take care of my grandmother Minnie "Aunt Mint" Maxwell. When the Uncles would plow the fields, Indian arrow heads would come up with the loose soil. You could pick them up until you became tired. We knew that there had to have been a battle or a camp to find so many. Grandfather had a spring fed creek behind his house, where the water was cool and fresh all year round. Along the creek were huge pecan trees lining its banks. The family would thrash pecans, and pick them up to sell or to use in pecan pies. The Indian story finally came to me in" Canyon Of the Eagles" written by C. L. Yarbrough. I was fortunate to find it in 1992 and bought three thinking I would give them to my children. It explains the Indian story very well . It starts on page 25, to page 27. I hear that the magazine is being published again, and you might be able to find copies at the Vanishing Texas River Cruise Park I think that is the name of it. It is located on the Burnet side of the lake. I would not dare to send you a print since I don't have permission to do so. But it came out in a Burnet paper years ago, and I do have a copy, but I cannot find it. It is probably buried under all of my genealogy books for I am into Family History. If you have any other questions I would be happy to answer them if I can. Lillie F. Kelly granddaughter of James T., and Minta Minnie Oden Maxwell Naples, FL faye74@exit18.com
