Peter Tumlinson was a founder of Pleasanton Masonic Lodge No. 283 A.F.&A.M. and served as charter treasurer.

The special celebration will be held this Friday, March 4 at 4:30 p.m. at the Pleasanton Lodge, 1115 N. Main Street.

Captain Tumlinson came to Texas in 1821, serving as a Texas Ranger for 40 years clashing with Indians and the infamous Mexican bandit Juan Cortina.

He also fought in the Texas Revolution. Family lore says that he was present at Sam Houston’s meeting with Santa Anna following the Battle of San Jacinto.

Peter was granted land in Atascosa County for his service and later served as county commissioner in Atascosa County.
