The Brown County Historical Commission has obtained a state historical marker for early civic pioneer George Edward Smith. The marker has been approved and the Texas Historical Commission is ready to send the marker to the foundry. The cost for the marker is $2,300.

The Brown County Historical Commission still needs to raise $1,350 for the marker. There is only a short time to raise the funds or the application procedure has to start over next year.

The Brown County Historical Commission would like to thank the Brown County Commissioners; the Greenleaf Cemetery Association; G. Lee Haney, attorney at law; Mike Blagg; Margaret Blagg; and the Lappe Law Officer for contributions for the marker.

If you can help, make out a check to “Lappe Law Office Trust Account,’” mark it for the George Smith Historical Marker, and mail to Lappe and Lappe Attorneys at Law, 404 N. Fisk, Brownwood, TX 76801. Lappe and Lappe will bundle the donations and make one check to the Texas Historical Society.
