1884 by grammyn

1884

In looking for historical subjects I found several family Bibles. This one was printed in 1884 and was given to my grandfather at some point after his birth in 1890. His name is the 6th on the left. My mother is the first on the right.
♥️ Love these bits of history.

I love looking at the handwriting in my family Bible. I can't believe how elaborate and well they wrote with ink pens! Good shot!

What a great find. I don't have anything on the older history of my families in my possession. I have filled in a lot of it in Ancestry.com.

@darylo I know how much it means to you now and how much more it will when your parents are gone.

Earl and Martha - unique names nowadays! The best and most well kept histories in Bibles!

@maggiemae Earl was my grandfather and Martha was my mother. Interestingly enough I work out in the morning with someone named Martha too
