A Kilgore to Remember Print
Independence Day 2009 observances started at 9am in Cross Plains with the annual Kilgore Remembrance at Villines Cemetery.  Local, Robertson County, and state dignitaries were on hand as well as longhunters in traditional garb.  Nancy Bellar spoke on the descendants of Thomas Kilgore, the first white settler in what is now Cross Plains.  While many members of his family remain in the area, none are named Kilgore.
