Look what I found in one of my file drawers...the application for a Texas Historical Marker, written by Peter Flagg Maxson. His family owned the Little Hoss Ranch (5300 acres) between Godley and Cresson.

Lots of history in this application.

A couple of little known facts of Cleburne & Johnson County.

Cleburne produced several outstanding citizens of the world, including two governors of the state of Texas, S. W.T. Lanham and James Stephen Hogg. William T. Ramsey, noted barrister, was the only man in Texas to occupy the bench on both the Court of Criminal Appeals and the State Supreme Court. M. M. Crane became. attorney general and S. Palmer Brooks became president of Baylor University, of Waco.
