Bible compete with pictures of different biblical scenes, a section in the back where photos could have been kept, and a section with a family record which has been partially filled out The first recorded date is July 13, 1902 with the name Nathan Bruce Hamilton? The most amazing part of this bible is that there is a MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE filled out from 1883.
