    3. Hi Lynn, Regarding the articles still having time to be accepted for Vol.II, I wonder if I had a handwritten note about the old days of late 1800s when my great grandmother went to an all-night party and met my great grandfather there. It names the Colonel's ranch or farm where it was held, one of two of the tunes played, etc. I cannot recall right this second whether they went from San Saba to Lampasas for the party or vice versa, but I think it was the former. Is something like this worth trying to dig my notes out of storage, or since they left the county for the all-night shindig, I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to the book??? I could try to find it and transcribe it if you think it has some possibilities. My great grandparents were James Newell DYER and Mattie Clark MASTERSON, who married in July of 1885. I think the third wife of a pioneer, Dr. Robert MASTERSON, was there too. Mattie Clark MASTERSON was born Martha Clark Masterson in San Saba, Texas in 1864, and her mother, Virginia B. CLARK died when Mattie was only 3. Also, I seldom ever post, but I wanted to this go to Jerry & Lynn Blankenship as well as to whole list. Hope I did it right. Thanks, Delina Porter
