VITAL INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE BIBLE: *Introduction* My wife bought for me a beautiful old family Bible about 8 or 9 years ago from an antique store in Davenport, Iowa, for which she paid about $300. It is a beautiful Bible and they just don't make them that way any more. We truly treasure it. It is in fair, but fragile condition. It is an "Illustrated Domestic Bible", still containing most of the tissue papers for each beautiful illustration. Of course, it is the Authorized Version, now known as the King James Version. It was printed and published by Case, Lockwood and Brainard in 1869. *Vital Information* The cover is engraved with the name of the family that owned it: N.H. & J.A. (Aldrich) Salsteen Probably Noah H. Julia A. Salsteen, as indicated in the following "Births" pages. In the back of the Bible, the Family Record section, there are no marriages recorded. These are the births that were recorded on the two "Births" pages. They do not directly indicate relationships: Page 1 Julia A. Aldrich Born in Providence R.I. May 13th 1847 Ransom A.

Salsteen Born in Philadelphia Penn Feb 19th 1844 Tucked between those two birth pages is a glossy, sepiatone photograph of a couple, perhaps a wedding picture(?). No writing on the back.
