Early Bible

June 23, 2013

Every so often I sit and look through this wonderful little Bible that I gifted myself with a few

 years ago just before Christmas. The young girl that owned it so loved poetry and saving

things that were dear to her heart.

I hope you are able to read some of the poems.

I have also listed some history that was also listed about her family.

I know it's a lot of information, but thought some might like to read it.

Have a wonderful day!!
