The Cleburne Time’s-Review posted an article commemorating the awarding of the historical marker in April of 2013.    An excerpt of the article, written by Tammye Nash, reads:  “Wilma Reed, Johnson County Historical Commission member and chair for the Texas Historical Marker program, said in a written statement, ‘We commend the Johnson County Sheriff’s Posse for their efforts to preserve the archeological, historical and cultural resources of our county. The marker serves to bring public awareness to the more than 60 years of service by the many members of the Sheriff’s Posse.'”
