I have a copy of the original cemetery book, and I have a question! On page 1, under "Beaird Cemetery", there is a "Beaird, Laura Belle" listed Below her name it lists the following: "A member of the Excelsior of H.P." Does anyone have any idea what this might be?? Thanks for any leads! Susan

I would imagine that H.P. might stand for Howard Payne. Haven't located a reference yet, however. -- Sue Seibert P. O. Box 61 Mineral Wells TX 76068-0061 siouxcitysue@cox-internet.com http://www.ralphandsue.com Chasing Our Tales Column: http://ralphandsue.com/ChasingOurTales/chasingourtalescolumn/

Also, if you have the book, would you be willing to transcribe it for the website? -- Sue Seibert P. O. Box 61 Mineral Wells TX 76068-0061 siouxcitysue@cox-internet.com http://www.ralphandsue.com Chasing Our Tales Column: http://ralphandsue.com/ChasingOurTales/chasingourtalescolumn/
