I am looking for any info on the Horning family of kentucky and indiana. the following is my great-grandfathers obituary, the "texal" is actually william texal (my grandfather)also known as "slim".

i would really like to know what the W.B. stands for and which county this is from as there has been some confusion over that. thank you in advance

i can be contacted at pamir@webtv.net or newnamfamily@webtv.net
