My grandfather was Curtis Hope Byars and the spelling is Byars. It was in my gggrandfathers children that the spelling started changing his name was Peter Raymond Bedford Byars, he had alot of children. Some of them spell it with an "a" and some with an "e". Your Pearl died in 1958. If you would like to email me at laurietim@chestertel.com I would be glad to share with you all the information that I have. I even have some pictures you would be interested in. From which of Lawrence's children to you fall under? Looking forward to hearing from you soon, Laurie
