| Lowe Bible
NOTE:
This Bible has been reunited with it's family! See the transcription
of the
Lowe Bible
records submitted by Ed McClelland. |
I have in my possession a very old Bible &
would like to find the family. The family name is Lowe. Earliest
recorded date in the Bible is Washington Lowe, born Feb.4th 1805/married
to Rosanna Williams, born July 31st 1804. Both died in Tennessee. The
last known family member to me was Sudie B. Rose who died many years ago
in Houston, Texas. She was an ancestor of the Lowe family & lived in
Houston although I believe the family was from Tennessee.

| Pickles, Stevenson, Greer |
An Oklahoma genealogist contacted us with a found Bible that she wishes to
return to the family. It was found in an abandoned house here in Oklahoma,
but most of the information is about families in or near Pittsburgh, PA.
The Bible is large, about 6 inches thick and also has some obituary
clippings tucked inside. The family names are Pickles, Stevenson and
Greer. The oldest person listed is Harrison Pickles b. 5 June 1850 d.
1911. A quick census search finds him and wife Melissa Jane in the 1880 US
Census of Beaver County, PA. Also found him in other census through 1910.
Bible names his four children with birth/death info. Bible appears to have
belonged to his daughter Clara Emma Pickles Stevenson.

| Rothwell Bible |
I have a Bible that is so old it is falling apart and I
have to keep it in a freezer bag. It is "The Inspirational Bible"
The only writing in it is the Presented to: Lillian Rothwell - November
2-1944 - by someone who's name I cannot make out, it looks like Ottis
but I cannot say that is definite. I do not want any money from the
family, just the fact in knowing that it is back where it belongs, all I
would ask is that they pay for the shipping. I bought this from a family
yard sale after a death on
8-22-1998, I know this for a fact because I wrote it on the bag I keep the
Bible in.

Shade Bible |
I found a old Bible in our shed we have
had since my father past away.
I do not think it has any thing to do
with our family for my dad was one
who brought stuff from auctions and
kept, I believe this Bible is where
it came from.
I am sending the records I found in the
Bible which I put back in the same
pages they were found. There was also
some dried flowers and may have
been more but never went though all
pages.
It would be interesting if someone in
that family would claim it.
Please let me know. Thank You
