1. The Robertson and Sutherland Family Marker

Inscription. Under the sheltering trees on this hill, Mary E. Robertson and Thomas S. Sutherland met and studied at Thomas Arnold High School graduating in 1906 and 1910, married in the Robertson Homeplace uniting two families whose ancestors settled in Texas before 1830, and were a distinguished part of the Texas Revolution. They bore five children: Thomas, Alice, Mary Elizabeth (Liz), George, and William. They gave us a love of words, a high heart of good humor, and a deep respect for the Texas pioneer spirit, and faith in our Maker.

Erected by Robertson Colony-Salado College Foundation.
