To commemorate the old Western Cattle

- a bronze and stone marker will be placed on the courthouse lawn in
Coleman by the Wm. Buckner Chapter Daughters of the American
Revolution. The ceremonies will be held this Friday, May 15,
beginning at 3 p.m. All trail drivers, persons who took part in
the cattle movements of the seventies and eighties, also all members of
