Gross Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New
Testaments, New York, American Baptist Publication
Society. Undated, but says "20th Century Edition".
Looks like an early 20th century edition. Has the
temperance pledge so I think it must be 1900-1920.

This Bible is in fair condition. The covers are detached
and many pages are separated. The pages are in good
condition. The spine is missing.

This Bible was heavily used. The first pages of the Bible are
covered in notes on where to find specific issues in the Bible,
including hell, adultery, divorce and other things. I have
scanned them as well, because unlike most Bible notes I've seen
these appear to reflect on issues the family had to deal with,
and might hold genealogical value to someone.

The family record pages were professionally inscribed with
fraktur writing, and signed C. Arthur Loux.
