The book also includes proceedings of trials against members including one on May 27 1860 at which "It was decided that accused was guilty of gross unmasonic conduct by 6 black ball to three white."

Hobby remarking that his grandfather Edwin Hobby was a member of the Henderson Yoakum chapter as well as three additional pieces of later Texas masonic ephemera.
