The Holy Bible --- Parallel New Testament, A.J. Holman & Co., Philadelphia, 1887.

Inscription on the Inside of the Front Cover: "A Christmas Present to Mrs. M.F. Case by Marion Case Dec. 25, 1888."

This family bible has been passed down from my great-great-grandfather Marion Fletcher CASE and his second wife Minnie Frances WINSELL. In the middle of the book are several pages with birth, marriage, and death information. Some of the original entries were added to or modified by my grandmother, Frances Lydia CASTELHUN, many years back. The original text will appear below in boldfaced writing, while Frances' comments will be in normal, lighter text. The entries below are exactly as they appear in the bible, even though some of that information has since been proved false.
