Description: This is an 1877 English Bible in good condition published by W Harding Philadelphia. This one has special benefit of having a fraktur style bookplate and also a marriage and family record. Two leading Lancaster county artists have written the inscriptions. The first one who did the bookplate and most of the family record is Thomas Wall of Rapho township Lancaster county. The second is Thomas Stevens of Lancaster county (in lighter blue ink) who filled in a few lines at a later date. Also a marriage certificate is included for John Hess and Amelia Witmer who were the owners of this Bible. Also an obituary of David Witmer who seems to be Amelias brother. Hess and Witmer are Mennonite names but it appears that this couple got married in an Evangelical Luthern church which was not totally uncommon if they were not yet members of their own mennonite church. Find a grave shows that they were buried at Srasburg mennonite church.Includes a Bible dictionary and Apographa. Pagination is 48 144 1-774 116 775-1032 42 22. Text seems to follow the King James version. Question please ask. Price reduced from 995.00
