MEMORIAL PLACED AT CEMETERY

Houston Lighting & Power Company recently placed a memorial alongside Madison County
Road 413 at the entrance to the Campbell property to recognize the century-old 
Whitfield Lake Cemetery.  HL&P's northern transmission line has run through the 
Campbell property since 1963.

The site of the Whitfield Lake Cemetery was of particular interest to Mr. Howard 
Cooper of El Paso, who recently found a reference to it while researching his family 
genealogy.  Even though the exact location of the cemetery is unknown, Mr. Cooper 
contacted HL&P seeking assistance in placing an appropriate marker for this site.

The cemetery was established in the early 1800s and is believed to be the resting
place of J. Thomas, G. Toby, G.W. Toby and Clara Vaughn.  However, the identity of 
all buried there is unknown.

The new memorial is a tribute to these early settlers of Madison County.
