    1. [TXSSABA] Frances WILROY/Colony School?
    2. Hello List Members! I have come into possession of a college album from the 1920's with loads of photos, memorabilia, diary entries, etc. I bought it sight unseen because I heard it had information on San Saba in it. Is anybody connected to the following: Miss Frances WILROY graduated from Huntington, Texas High School in the early 1920's. She then attended NTSTC (North Texas State Teachers College) and subsequently came to San Saba by train in 1925 (?) to teach at a school in or near COLONY - perhaps traveling with a "Hannah"; the teachers apparently stayed with "Mrs. Annie Harrel". Another teacher may have been a girl named "Bobbie". Frances Wilroy wrote several pages over the course of the school year, mentioning lots of folks - mostly only by first names, but some more specific, such as "Mr. Ragsdale preached on Sunday" I find her writings about coming to San Saba/Colony to teach and socialize are a very interesting look at the townspeople in the 1920's; she describes her outings, friends, places etc. There are dozens of photos (from both her college and San Saba visit) but NONE are identified! I would really like to find her descendants and get this album into deserving hands someday. Any clues?????
