In 1873, Dr. John and Frances Tarlton came to Hillsboro, Texas. Two sons, Benjamin Dudley and Green Duke, were educated in Louisiana, became attorneys and practiced law in Texas. Frances' father was Greene Duke Caller, hence the naming of her second son. Greene Duke, born February 20, 1852, came to Hillsboro with his parents in 1873, and married Sallie E Scott on June 14, 1878. The older brother, Benjamin Dudley Tarlton practiced law in Hillsboro until 1890, when he was appointed a Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas. Retiring from the bench, he later joined the faculty at the Law School of the University of Texas, 1904-1919, which now houses the Tarlton Law Library. |

Meanwhile, back in Hillsboro, in 1895, younger brother, Greene Duke and his wife, Sarah Elizabeth, built a new home, a 3-story Queen Anne Victorian mansion, still celebrated 111 years later as the Tarlton House. Mrs. Sarah Tarlton passed away in 1907, is buried in the Hillsboro historic cemetery, and her tombstone epitaph reads:
Her sweet voice adds to the melody of the angel's songs. |
