Last Sat. my daughter & I were at our local library, Effingham, IL, Effingham County, and just happened to look at the Family Files that are there [for some reason I never looked at them as I did not think that there would be anything in them about our family as our family was from Cumberland County, IL] WELL, when I pulled out the Elliott file, someone had made a copy of a bible where the family names & birth dates was wrote in. Guess who the bible belonged to, Josiah & Frances Matkins Elliott. The paper copies was dated that it had been copied in 1990 so made a few calls to find who had copied it and where the bible was. The second call gave me the answer as it was found in her daughters attic when they had bought the house in Toledo, IL. I asked where the bible was at now an she said that she had it. So I went down to her home here in Effingham to see it and she said that since it was my g granparents I could have it as it was not any of her family. SO I now have the family bible of Josiah & Frances Matkins Elliott, my g. grandparents. Need I say that I am really happy about it too. Kate Keller Bourland / Effingham,IL
