Stinson Distilling and Winery is housed in the old Norton Mansion in Llano, which was home to Mary Agnes and Thomas W. Norton and their five daughters for decades. The last two daughters died with no heirs, leaving what is believed to be about $5 million in assets to the Llano Cemetery Association and Llano City Park.
In a rather macabre note, a young man, Timothy Glen Scoggin, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering the two elderly sisters, who died within days of each other from what is believed to be rat poisoning.
