The Lasater family was among the earliest to settle in Palo Pinto County, a region which has bred many of the most noted cattlemen of the State; and from that day to this its members have been actively connected with that important industry of the Southwest to which the State of Texas may be said to have given birth. William Lasater, who came with his family from Tennessee, in 1849, was a cattle raiser when the defense of his herds against Indian raids was one of his most important and incessant duties, and his sons have followed closely in his footsteps.
