Someone found the Lone Star for me!

Allan Krueger who lives near Elgin, TX found my website and he had information about the Lone Star that granddad talked about in San Antonio Texas.

He wrote
The “Lone Star” mentioned in San Antonio would be the Old Lone Star Brewery, now the current home of the San Antonio Museum of Art. It was indeed a local landmark and was famous throughout Texas and beyond. A good article about it:

There is a great period picture at this link http://books.google.com/books?id=6YxFaD-VlqMC&pg=PA36&dq=san+antonio+museum+of+art+%22lone+star+brewery%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=zL8gU-q0A87joASamoCwAw&ved=0CFQQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=san%20antonio%20museum%20of%20art%20%22lone%20star%20brewery%22&f=false

Unfortunately, The San Antonio Conservation society wants me to pay for using the picture on the website and fill out a bunch of paperwork.  I think I’ll just use the link and add the information I was sent.  I’ll summarize the information and add it to the San Antonio history in the next couple of days.  I might also try to find the Brewery when I’m in San Antonio in April and take a picture of it for myself.

I love it that people I don’t know are finding the site now and giving great local information to help complete the story.
