I Found a Bible!

While helping my mom organize her yard sale, I found an old bible.

My Great-Great Grandmother gave the bible to my Great Grandmother in 1899.

My Grandfather's oldest sister, Helen, took ownership of the bible when my Great-Grandmother died at a the age of 30 in 1918.

My Great-Grandfather died a few years later and my Grandfather was given the bible by his oldest sister Helen.

He was in World War II and carried this bible with him. There was a photo inside used as a bookmark encased in a thin copper frame. It's been all over the world.

I love old things, especially when I get to find out some family history that I wasn't aware of. I didn't know that my Grandfather was from Piedmont, MO.

My sister told me the census bureau would come to homes and check people's bibles to get a population count.
