Hannum Bible

5 May 2004 -- Dr. Mead Shaffer purchased the Bible of Norris M. and Susanna
Y. HANNUM from Samuel Yake of Paoli, PA. On the first page it states:

"Norris M. and Susanna Y. Hannum's Book December the 23 one thousand eight
hundred and fourty (sic) eight." The Bible was printed in 1846 by G. & C.
Merriam of Springfield, Mass. It measures 11 1/2 inches by 9 1/2 inches and is 3
inches thick. The condition of this Bible is excellent -- really quite amazing
for a book of this age. The binding is in excellent shape and the internal
pages are very, very clean and bright.
