McClister Bible
This Bible was published circa 1900, by my guess.
Its main title page is missing and the New Testament
title page gives no hint to either date or publisher, but
it is a "red letter" version.
This Bible is in poor condition, with the binding seriously
damaged and the spine missing. Many pages from the front,
back and center are missing.
There are several different handwritings here, and the later
handwriting comments some earlier entries.
Transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire,
