When my grandmother, Texana Patton Ward died, her children gave me the family Bible because
I was the one interested in maintaining family history. The Bible is in very good condition and on
display in my home. George Washington Ward was my grandfather. He fought in the Civil War
while a young teenager and married Texana when he was fifty years old and she was twenty.
