Historical Marker |
On April 28, 1879, R.M. Turner (1858-1928) entered Kimble County with Bride, Emma (Scarborough), (1863-1945), from Dewitt County. They settled near this site, on the north bank of the South Llano River, where Turner soon became a prominent cattle and sheep rancher. Of ten children born to the Turners, eight reached adulthood, most of them remained in the county to become leading citizens. Most noted was Jack Turner, conductor of the first angora doe sale in Texas, and one of the organizers of National Agora Goat Breeders Association, in 1925, serving as the first secretary, then president.
