GOES TO A DANCE

 

He told about a dance over at Bowman’s in the edge of Lampasas County. He and Charlie Day took two Rice girls and two Grigsby girls. And some "high-stepping" girls from Center City were there. There were two big rooms with a big fire in one and supporting posts in another. One of the girls turned Marion Roddy (one of my uncles from over in the Shive community) loose and he went reeling against one of the posts across the room, and came back and said, "I’d like to trade for you." Charlie Day took the Rice girl whom he later married, one of the daughters of Ellen Rice, the lady who ran the hotel or boarding house. Believe she was the wife of John Rice, who he said ran off. Had three girls.
