Peterson Bible
Biblia Thet är All then Helgha Skrift, Jönföping,
1831.
--This is a Swedish Bible, I am pretty sure, and if I
transcribed the non-English characters incorrectly
someone please correct this. It is being indexed by
a zillion search engines that way, and who knows if
a family member might not find it because of my
ignorance in this area. I do the best that I can.
This Bible is in fair condition. The binding is solid,
but is holding on by the ropes. The binding is wooden.
with ornamental silver latches with the accompanying
leather straps long gone. The pages are in fine condition
with foxing. The spine has loss at the top and bottom.
It is missing the front and rear end papers.
Knoxville and Galesburg are adjacent towns in western
Illinois with heavy Swedish populations. The Knox County
site at USGENWEB has a good amount of information
on this family. It appears that Jennie married Thomas,
and they were both buried in the county. No other Molins
were. Did they die without any children?
