Notes
  • Significance: The Picker and Sotol House (1904), 35 miles southwest of Ozona. It was the homestead of D.B. Kilpatrick and his wife Truda to "prove up" five sections of land. Stalks of Sotol, a yucca-like plant, were used to construct the first two rooms in 1904. The later Picket addition, built sometime after 1905, was constructed by digging an eighteen inch deep trench the length of the wall. Cedar posts were placed upright in the trench and nailed to a 2x4 at the top. First owned by D.B. Kilpatrick, it was sold to Arthur Mills in 1905. It was sold again to S.S. Millspaugh, Jr., and finally, in 1939, to L.B. Cox, Jr., who with Louise Bailey Cox, donated the structure to the Ranching Heritage Center in Memory of Crocket County pioneers.
