Comfort dedicates historic Holekamp homestead

COMFORT — Dozens of Kendall County residents braved weather predictions of rain, high winds and hail to attend the March 16 unveiling of the Dan and Frances Holekamp Historical Marker Dedication, as commissioned by the Texas Historical Commission.

The Kendall County Historical Commission organized the event, which began at the Comfort Public Library before moving to the Holekamp homestead, now the home of Gary and Barbara Lindner — descendants of Comfort settlers themselves — at 421 Seventh St.

Once there, Gary Lindner led the unveiling of the historical marker and read its inscription for those attending.
