Marie, Georgia, et. al., Yes, I believe you are correct in the direction you are going with this family. The earlier mentioned Lewis Harlan Sellers was the son of Harry and Ella (Jefferies) Sellers. In turn, Harry was the son of Heli (H. Eli?) Sellers (2 March 1845 - 24 Dec 1910) and Elva Catherine Clinker. Elva was Heli's second wife. I believe his first wife was Elizabeth Lipsett Parrott. Heli and Elizabeth had 5 children before they divorced. Heli then had another 5 children with Elva, which included Harry. Heli Sellers was, in turn, the son of Fredrick Sellers and Sarah Pinkley (22 Apr 1821 - 23 Mar 1903), and was one of 9 children. Fredrick was the son of George Sellers (9 May 1783 - 25 Jan 1860) and Nancy Damoth (17 Oct 1792 - 29 Jun 1882) and was himself one of 9 children. Fredrick had a brother named Elias, which I think could be the basis for the name "Heli" or an indication that it was instead some form of "Eli" ...

I believe Lewis was the son of Harry Heli Sellers (14 January 1889 - 9 Sept. 1961) and Ella Eleanor Jeffries (3 Mar 1885 - 3 Jan 1969). Lewis's siblings were Wilbert Ernie, Florence Viola, Marion Lee, Kathryn Elva, and Ivan Ira Sellers. I think these siblings are also listed on the Birth pages below Lewis. They weren't part of my line, so unfortunately I don't have anymore info. But, perhaps it will help someone else on the list if this is part of their family. I'm sure the bible would be of great family value to them.

Old family Bible dated 1892, in poor physical condition with a taped-on back cover and a stitched-on front cover, and some loose and probably a few missing pages. Bible is illustrated with several large black and white illustrations.
