I thought this might of use to someone on this list: SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER: Genealogical Treasures Found Vol. 3, No. 21, 17 June 2001. (c) 1999-2001 Julia M. Case Editor-at-Fault: Julia M. Case [email protected] SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER is published several times per month and contains notices of genealogical treasures found, such as photographs, diaries, letters, and family Bibles. Additional "Somebody's Links" notices appear weekly in MISSING LINKS.

Plain text files of SOMEBODY'S LINKS NEWSLETTER are named by the date of the issue, e.g., 20010603.txt, and are available to read online or download from ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/somebody/ . o Family Bible bought at yard sale in Saint Louis, Missouri. First page says Holy Bible, Presented to Nona POFF BEAN by Virgil SHIRLEY. This family seems to have lived in Williamson County, Illinois, and the town of Herrin is mentioned a lot in connection with deaths, marriages, etc. Names appear as follows: Virgil BEAN born Herrin March 2, 1910; George POFF, Herrin, July 30, 19__; Billie Joe POFF, Herrin, Nov. 28 19__; Joe POFF, Williams County, born July 20, 1906; Nona BEAN, Kentucky born August 21, 1907; Lou POFF, August 6, 1868; Margaret SHIRLEY, Herrin, April 20, 1926; David POFF, Herrin, born March 15, 19__; Joe POFF, born in Williamson County, July 20, 1906. There are several repeats of dates and names on a couple of pages. There are death dates for several of these folks and among them is David HARPER, died May 5, 1946 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. In the back is for most part a repeat of the same information. It says David HARPER died May 3, 1946 instead of May 5th. I would like to return this Bible to a family member. It was a costly purchase at 50 cents; it seems the gentleman had also purchased it at some type of a sale. Billy G.
