Bible Records of SPONSLER and DOAK, Crawford County, Illinois This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: Sue Jones Hi, just received two old-falling to pieces-water logged and soiled bibles. They had been in a junk shop for sale but were on a dump ready to be burned when a lady spotted them, felt sorry for them, and gave them to a DAR member and she in turn gave them to me the chapter DAR regent. So here goes what they say. I don't know anything else about these people. However hope there is someone out there that'd appreciate the information. Sue Clipping of obit.
