Marker Text: Pioneer Episcopalians worshiped at the Kerr County courthouse in 1881. In 1884-88, they erected a small frame Gothic church, the Rev. J.E. Hole served 1890-91 as first resident rector; the Rev. Richard Galbraith, 1894-1908, as first permanent rector. In 1908 Saint's Peter's became a parish. The Rev. J.E. Ellis, 1908-13 rector, founded a boy scout troop here, before scouting had originated nationally. The present church was built in 1928, annexes were added later. The greatly enlarged membership includes descendants of early communicants. (1977)
