Transcribed by Gayl Ryan, November 2, 2005. Spelling is as found, or the best I could determine.

This bible is owned by a friend who purchased it at a flea market. She has kindly let me transcribe and make this information available. Neither of us is related to nor do we know anything more about this family. I do have pictures of the above pages.
Hope this is helpful…
