This Family Bible has been handed down from female member to
female member as women were the ones that kept the family records.
It was given to me in 1969 by my grandmother Frances Leota Todd
daughter of Rolland V. Todd and Jennie Lou Ransom of Lousianna
Pike County Missouri. The front pages of this Bible are in very poor
condition but the date it was published 1819 New York, with
Sterotype Art was quite readable. The remaing portion of this Bible
is in very good condition considering it's age, and amazing 17 years
short of two hundred years.

I am pleased to share the information and if you wish a photo copy
made for your records send self addressed envelope and 25 cents per page
to the above address. This is 5 pages text and 1 page "Sterotype Art" of Jesus,
Title: "The Redeemer."

Good Hunting
