Referencing the Book, Story of Beaumont. Is there any mention of the Laniers? My great-grandfather, Junius Fisher Lanier was mayor twice plus he was instrumential in the Spindletop oil well as well as having a law firm there. I might be interested in the book.

If you are interested in owning this book, please let me know -- I'm told it has a value in excess of $150. The book is on loan to me -- it is owned by a man in Vidor who does not have a computer. I told him I would look for a buyer for him -- I cannot afford to spend that much for a book or I would buy it myself. I will make nothing for doing this -- except for the good will of the owner, who is a friend of mine. The book is in "relatively good shape". All the pages are there and it is only slightly yellowed. But the glue holding the cover to the spine has disintegrated and the cover is loose, as are several pages. I would describe it as in "good but fragile" condition. If you are interested, please write me off-list at: Tom Cloud P.S. pages for the Wiess family of Wiess' Bluff and for the descendants of Elisha & Melina Dalton Whittington (Devers, Texas and Liberty county) can be found at .. http://mykindred.com thanks, Tom Cloud
