An invitation to a ball, 1891



Margaret "Mama" Atwood was invited with her sister Amanda to a Knights of Pythias ball on Tuesday December 15, 1891.  It was likely in Conroe, Texas where the Smith family lived at that time.

This invitation was in Mama Atwood's possession when she passed away at the age of 94.

 Mama kept all of her keepsakes in a cedar chest behind her platform rocker in the house where she lived when I was a child in Comanche.  Once in a while she would let me look through her keepsakes. I treasure those memories of her.
