Smith Family Bible Records

These records were transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire of Sleepy Hollow IL.

Tracy writes:

This Bible is in fair condition. The Bible was rebound at one point in a utilitarian binding. I can't quite place it -- it looks like black contact paper placed over the original carved binding, but that can't be it, because the inside covers look too neat. No ephemera, just a few leaves.
