    1. [INMADISO-L] Bible :black and gold leather bound with brass clasp
    2. Since this deals with my birth state I thought I would send this out to IN lists and maybe someone reading this qualifies or knows of a person that would be interested in this items. Was in the following newsletter. Subj: Missing Links, Vol. 5, No. 7 Date: 2/17/00 9:17:33 AM US Mountain Standard Time From: [email protected] (Julie Case) To: [email protected] SOMEBODY'S LINKS. Please send notices about genealogical treasures found to <[email protected]>. We have an old, black and gold leather bound with brass clasp, Bible that was given to our aunt, Leota Willis MADISON in Danforth, Illinois, about 1980. There are no identifying features in the Bible itself, however the following items were found inside: (1) a calling card with the name Mrs. Kate M. HENRY; (2) Marriage certificate for Marshall G. HENRY and Mary C. DRULEY dated 8 February 1865 and issued In Wayne County, Indiana. On the side of the certificate are the letters, in ink, M.R.I. page 77; (3) a handwritten, in pencil by Lillie HENRY, age 12, death notice for Wm. R. HENRY, 23 August 1879; (4) a newspaper death notice for Emma Locke BONEBRAKE, 2 March 1880; (5) a photograph of a woman with a lace bonnet but no identifying information; (6) several pieces of lace; (7) a piece of twig with a paper attached indicating it came from the old Elm where George WASHINGTON took command of the army and dated 12 July 1895; (8) and a piece of fern from LONGFELLOW's home in Boston also dated 12 July 1895. If you are related to any of the above named individuals or know of the family and would like to have these mementos and the Bible, please contact me.
