Schaffter Bible
New York, American Bible Society, 1854.
There are several different handwritings on these
pages. There are some comments written in pencil
that I have enclosed in brackets.
There is a calling card inside this Bible, of "Mr. and Mrs.
W. D. Kerwen". There is also a lock of hair. My scanner
did not pick up the color of this correctly. It is medium
blonde.
There are some inconsistent spellings here, but they are
in the original.
