Cleveland Bible


The Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible, by Rev.
Nathaniel West, D.D. New York, A.J. Johnson,
1869.



This Bible is in very good condition.

The LDS site places the marriage of James Cleveland and
Elizabeth Parker in Somerset County, Maine (same date
as below).

There is some fascinating ephemera in this Bible. One is
a pamphlet detailing a speech made by Hon. L.C. Houk,
Republican from Tennessee, in front of the House of
Representatives in 1879. In it he denounces the lack of
Black people ("Negroes" ) in the House any longer, as
well as Republicans out of office in the South, because of
the violence and unfair voting practices. There are many
plants and flowers (with tissue, labeling the plant). There is
a bookmark with the Sunday School Lesson List for the
Baptist Chuch in Skowhegan, 1873. A list of infectious
diseases with symptoms, incubation, etc and an ad for
quinine on the reverse (Dipheria, Scarlet Fever, Typhus,
Small Pox & more).



The family record is somewhat confusing. The first page has
just names, the next just birthdates, the next just marriage dates
(& no spouses!) and the last page just death dates. I am going
to arrange them in a single-line format, to avoid the constant
cross checking.
