Van Ostran Bible

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments,
New York, American Bible Society, 1830. Similar to Hills
#708, except that mine has "3d edition" on reverse of title
page, and the NT title page has only "Chap: 12 mo.]" without
the "Minion, Cont:" reported by Hills. [Minion cc. 12mo.

This Bible is in poor condition; it has literally been worn out.
It was owned and primarily used by Julia Van Ostran, and
I assume it was she that dogeared so many pages, and
inserted all the ephemera. The binding is intact and it appears
that all the pages are present, even the endpapers, but many
pages are loose.

Isaac and Julia Van Ostran are found in the Seneca, Ontario
County, New York 1860 federal census with one child,
Joseph Rivers, age 11, living with them. He was born in New
Jersey and she was born in New York according to that
record.
