"I Found A 1898 JOHNSON / SOUTH Family Bible. This bible was found in Oregon, It has many names, and birthdates in it. There is also Wilcoxson names in it.
The Bible begins with:

Gus Marcelles JOHNSON b: 24 Apr 1902 in Kansas
Mildred Ada JOHNSON b: 23 Mar 1907 in California
Eldon Milton JOHNSON b: 07 May 1913 in California

The South Family starts with:

John Henry South, b: 22 Apr 1876 in Iowa.
Ada Della South b: 07 Feb 1880 in Iowa
Norman Augustus South b: 15 Dec 1882 in Iowa.

There are many other names and dates, thay are born in Iowa; Osborne, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, and most recent in California. I would love to be able to return this Bible to someone in this family who would love to have this treasure."
