PAGE 45 - 2 Masque Balls, 2 'other' Events, 1882-1887

As noted in previous pages, this blog is for the purpose of inventorying my maternal great-grandfather's SOUVENIR ALBUM, from 1840 to roughly 1900.

Today's post is Page 45, and the highlights here are two marvellous Masque Balls tickets. Clearly Grove TERWILLIGER and his wife Clara loved social events such as these - there are a number of Masque Ball tickets in the Album.

I am curious who they might have gone with to these balls and receptions. Perhaps my 2nd great-grandparents were members of these various organizations. But, no information is added, all tickets are glued down forever.
