Bentley Bible

"This is the Bible of the William C. Bentley family. This Bible was sent to my mother, Marjorie Bentley Meador, after the death of her grandfather, Wm. C. Bentley, in 1917. The Bible is now in my possession. It was in rather bad shape when I got it. The spine was missing and the covers were barely attached. The edges of the pages were damaged. I took it to a restoration bindery and they laminated the family pages, used the original covers with a new spine, trimmed the pages, and rebound it. It should be in good shape for many more generations. There is not a publication date. It is titled The Complete Domestic Bible and the publisher is N. D. Thompson & Co., Publishers, St. Louis, MO. Wm. C. Bentley was born in Tennessee, the children were born in Kentucky and Missouri. He outlived 9 of his 10 children and two wives and then moved to Clackamus Co., Oregon to be near his brothers. He died there and is buried in the Miller Cemetery."
