Shimp Bible
These Bible pages were separated from a Bible. They
appear to be from a late 19th century Bible.
The relationships here are kind of confusing. I find
Lemon Shimp in the 1920 federal census for Sinking
Spring, Berks County, PA. He is aged 59, living with
wife Clara A. (age 48), daughter Mabel E. (age 15) and
granddaughter Florence (age <1). He is a printer.
They were all born in Pennsylvania, and all of their parents
were born in Pennsylvania.
Barton Leininger is found in his uncle's home in 1910,
had registered for the WW1 draft in 1917, and was in
a boarding house, divorced, in 1930.
