Johnson Bible
|
This is a small, leather covered Bible, about 4"x 6"x 1" and has no "family record" page but there is family information written on the back side of the "title page" of the New Testament. Following is the information in this Bible. I hope someone can connect with the information and I can send this Bible home. |
