Appeal for Help for 13 year old John Travis Blair
The San Saba News covers an appeal to aid John Travis Blair, a 13 year old boy left to support his mother and two young sisters after his father, Johnny Blair, died June 13. Readers are urged to help keep the family in school and avoid turning John Travis to work, with hopes to auction a hand made gift to raise funds. The piece also notes a quilt exhibit and antique show held by Bowser Quilting Society with winners named across multiple categories.
