Hi, Got this in my e-mail and thought you might want to pass it along to someone who might be the family member who would love to have this. Hope someone finds the owner... Your Cousin Trina P.S. too bad that it wasn't for our family..... Forwarded from another list. Know of anywhere else to post it? >>Subject: Bible needs a family:Stough,Welk,Wantz just passing this along.......article clipped from a newspaper: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "VIRGINIAN REVIEW - Sat 15 Aug 1998." It had the heading "VA >MAN TRYING TO FIND FAMILY TO RETURN BIBLE.' The article reads "YORK, Pa. - A Virginia man is trying to return a 100 year old Bible to the descendants of a York County, PA family. But finding them has not been an easy matter. Julian Gordon of Newport News, VA. > Came into possession of the Bible last year, when his father-in-law died. His father-in-law had purchased the Bible in 1973 at an auction in Delta. But trying to find the family, Gordon doesn't have much to go on -- just a few names written inside and eight photographs. The name that occurs frequently is Stough. The York County telephone lists about 145 numbers for homes and businesses under that name. Gordon tried calling some of the Stoughs. A few were openly skeptical, apparently think the call was some kind of hoax..............." Inscriptions, photographs, and papers inside the bible tell: "it was given to Harry Isaiah Stough by his mother, Savannah on 25 Dec 1885. Harry had a brother named Ammon, who married Minnie F Welk. They had at least three children: Marie Florence; Laroy George; and Raymond Welk. Other papers mention Sevannia Wantz Stough and Lydia Wantz. The pictures were taken at Jeffres Art Studio in York. Mr Julian Gordon, according to the newspaper article has said he will send the bible and contents to anybody who can tie their family to Ammon and Harry Stough. The newspaper quotes him "It's there. I'll send it to them. I'll pay the postage," This will be quite a find if the right family can be located. Please pass this message on to other lists. We would all appreciate finding it if it was our family bible. [my guess is you contact tje Virginia Review, or the York PA newspapers if this is your family -elin] ________________________________________________________________ Get secure free e-mail that you don't need Web access to use from Juno, the world's second largest online service.
