West Bible
This Bible was obtained at auction and is currently in the
possession of Tracy St. Claire, . tracy@stclaire.org
It is missing the title page, but the New Testament
title page identifies this as an American Bible Society
edition of 1847.
There are several pages of genealogy on pages
manually glued inside the Bible, and several more
loosely inserted along with them. The loosely
inserted pages appear to be from other writers,
perhaps mailed to the keeper at his or her request.
One writer tells the recipient "you will have a life
job on your hand", referring to the collection of
genealogy, I suppose. Many pages have the names
witten in one hand and pen, and the dates filled in by
another, with many left blank.
