Curtis Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments, Philadelphia,
R.P. DeSilver, 1839.

This is a large, high-quality Bible that I purchased because it is very similar
to the 1838 DeSilver Bible that is my family Bible. I had hoped that it did not
contain any family information, so that I could make a near duplicate of my
family Bible. It does contain another family's information, and I do not ever
pull family information from Bibles.

This Bible is in good shape, although the binding has separated all in one
piece from the Bible itself. The pages are all present and in good condition.
The binding has scuffing and a 2" x 1" piece missing from the spine.

This family all died really young. All of the daughters died within just years
of their marriage, and all the children died before they were forty, three of
the four before they were thirty. They had maybe two grandchildren between
them all (by this record) that survived infancy, and would have had progeny to
inherit this Bible -- Adaline L. Osborn (born 7/12/1872) and Joseph A. Brown
(12/26/1878-3/4/1949).
