Beach. It is available from the Dallas County Historical Society. I don't remember the cost but I believe it was less than $10. The booklet only contains about 150 names. As is stated in the booklet, death notices in 1800's newspapers did not give much info. They are NOT like obituaries printed today. There are no GARRISONs in the index. There are three REYNOLDS listed: Hannah (d. 08-09-1881); Lillie Adelia (d. 09-13-1879); Robert L., Jr. (08-16-1870). Rick Gregg
