On Ebay, there is a family bible for sale for the Cassidy family from the Mt. Sterling, KY area. The following is part of the description: "The bible contains several bonuses that were saved within its pages. There is a marriage certificate dated October 13, 1887 for the marriage of W.E. Cassidy and Linnie I. Boyd in Mount Sterling, Ky. Part of the document appears to have been lost, apparently from tearing at a fold over the years, but all of the relevant information remains on the document. The bible also contains three funeral notices, the first of which is dated August 1, 1889 for Mrs. R.M. Johnson. M.M. Cassidy is listed as a pallbearer. The second notice is dated December 25, 1892, and is for Louis Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Cassidy. The third notice is dated June 12, 1902 for Henry Pickrell. W.E. Cassidy and T.D. Cassidy are listed among the pallbearers. Also included are two photographs of women, no dates or names, however the larger of the two has a studio name of O.H. Bryan, Mt. Sterling, KY imprinted on the front. The women appear to be dressed in attire of the middle to late 19th century. There is also a page included of the “Illustrated Lesson Paper, dated August 2, 1896, Volume XVI, Number 29. It contains short quotes and stories related to the bible and Christian lessons. A lock of a woman’s hair also rests in the bible." The number on Ebay for this item is # 1536564720. The item goes off auction May-18-02 17:39:24 PDT. At the time the high bid is at $39.00.
