Schley County Georgia Bible Tondee - Allen Families File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by LDSED@aol.com Linda Snow Davis Table of Contents page: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/crawford.htm Georgia Table of Contents: http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm THE BIBLE This Bible was bought in a yard sale and the buyer took it to the library in Ellaville, Ga. and asked about the Allen Family name. The Librarian, who was married into the Tondee family recognized the Allen name, of course, and asked to borrow the bible for making copies. She photo copied the front of the Bible and all the pages written on. In the Bible were approximately 18 family pictures, most not identified by written id, however, the librarian made notations of who the people were by way of an elderly family member. I personally recognize one of the photos which I had a copy of already. The ownership entry handwritten states: Valeria S. Allen A Gift from her Husband Aurelius Allen Schley County Georgia 1872 The next page is blank with a handwritten notation: Presented to Mary W. Tondee on her Birthday Jan. 15, 1934 by Aunt Sue On the cover page, unfortunately, my copy is cut off at the very bottom, so I am not able to tell if there was a date of publish printed on it Marriage Certificate: This Certifies that the Rite oof Holy Matrimony was celebrated between Aurelius Allen of Schley County Georgia and Valeria S.
