We've received a request from Karen Humphries Norwood for assistance with her research. If you might be able to help, please comment below and I will forward her contact information to you.
The details she provided:

This is my great grandmother
She is in this cemetery but also counted in the 1910 census
So I was trying to figure out how she died or who paid for the headstone.
I live in Tomball Tx and it’s a long drive up there. So I was hoping for a little help from someone in that general area.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give or maybe who can help with the cemetery questions.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks again!
