Deeter Bible

These pages were removed from the Bible, and therefore
I cannot date the Bible with certainty. They look to be
late 19th century, and "One Thousand Eight Hundred and"
is printed on the certificate. The pages are in good condition, and
came with a photograph of Delilah Deeter.

[Page Five -- Memoranda]

My father Reuben Deeter was converted in 1880
under the pastorate of Rev. M.V. Stone and was ever
devoted and loyal to the church of his choice
Methodist at Little Corners Pa. When the Reaper
came, he had only to lay down the cradle
with which he was gathering the wheat and
go to reap the reward of the faithful on
the other shore. He was a Christian
for thirteen years. God bless the memory
of my precious father and mother.
My mother said just before she died
"I had so much rather go and be with
Jesus than to stay."
