"The last of earth's treasures borne out to the tomb, I will tell it to Jesus my Lord". Side note: I thought that the French Huguenots were Protestant not Catholic. I also have found a Rev. David Lady associated with the Reformed church around that time. I would suggest that this Bible was probably Louisa Rumiser Williams first, then she gave it or willed it to her daughter, Jessie. I believe that Louisa and Jessie both attended Mount Holyoke College in Mass. For those of you interested in knowing why I purchased this Bible. Thomas Jones Williams was my gggrandfather on my Father's side through George W. Williams. I found this information interesting, and I hope others will as well! Susan Christine Williams
