I recently came across the wonderful old bible belonging to Byron and Hattie Beal from New York. The front cover of the bible has imprinted "Byron A. and Hattie A. Beal June 21, 1871. There's a nicely handwriten inscription inside and it looks like it was a wedding present. In the family information the following is documented:

Births:

Florence Augusta Beal April 19, 1872
Arthur Washington Beal Febuary 14, 1876
Byron E. Beal Nov 3, 1883
Lester Arnold Beal July 11, 1889

Robert Leonard Beal son of Lester Arnold Beal, Feb. 2, 1917
Margaret Vaughan Beal wife of Robert L. Beal, Born March 19, 1916

Marriages:

Robert L. Beal & Margaret Vaughan Nov 30, 1947

Deaths:

Hattie A. Beal, January 2, 1907

Byron Edward Beal, June 12, 1911 (obituary included)

Florence A. Beal (Willets) January 20, 1952.

I'm interested in helping this Bible find its way home to family. I'll also scan and send information - the handwriting is beautiful!
