This is reprinted from the August, 1988 LCGS newsletter. The Bible was described as being for sale at an antique store for $10.00. I'll leave out the name of the store for obvious reasons.
The description of the Bible goes on to say: "Although pages were provided for marriages, births and deaths, these were not used, but the information was written on one page in the front and back, (McKeown and Bawden respectively). All entries were made in the same ink, in the same hand, and all at the same time (not at the same time as any of the events recorded). Nevertheless, some valuable clues may be had from this Bible, and would be a nice find for the right person at the $10 asked for."
