The Former Texas Rangers Association/Foundation held a cross ceremony at the Goodnight Cemetery on Saturday honoring Col. Charles Goodnight.
Goodnight was a Texas Ranger, and the cross, made by Kevin Johnson of Clarendon, is on permanent display at his gravesite in Goodnight.
Some of the honored guests included Ruth Robinson, who is a relative of Charles Goodnight; Benny Tahmahkera who is the great, great, great-grandson of Quanah Parker; and many former Texas Rangers from around the state.
The cross includes symbols to honor Goodnight as both a Texas Ranger and a Mason. Is it identical to another cross made by Johnson which was placed on the tomb of Stephen F. Austin earlier this year.
