Transcriber's Notes:
The information above is supposed to be from the Bible
that belonged to John W. MELTON.
I copied it just as it was written in the Bible — Emmer should be Emma;
Luer,
I think, is supposed to be Lara/Laura; Monro is Monroe; Sallee is
Sallie; and I believe Mattis is supposed to be Mattie. There are
probably variations in the dates between the other Bibles shown below.
I do not know Walter R. McDONALD, Mary F. ERWIN or their children, nor
do
I know how they are related to the MELTONs. If anyone
knows, please e-mail me. ~
