I
had bought this bible off of eBay and had it for a
while. I am a Watson however this is
not of my line.
The names listed in the bible are Robert N. (b. 1850),
Sarah E. (b. 1850), Mary C., Anna M., Herbert B., Fern, Ella
Merle and Esther A. Watson. They are from Indiana and
Nebraska.
There is a handwritten page of names with dates and at least 3
tintype pictures. A friend was turning the pages and found locks of
hair, a obituary, pressed flowers and a tintype between the pages.
(The whole bible was not looked through - there probably is more.) The
bible is worn - pages have been torn and taped, separated from the
bible and there is water damage. The company selling it on eBay stated
the Watsons came from Prussia, but there is no indication of this in
the bible.
I am asking $71 for the bible as this is
the amount I bought it for off eBay. I would like to see it go to someone in the Robert
Watson family.
