Krause (Mrs. R. E.) Lake Charles, La. She is a great great granddaughter of Katarine Molling, born 1827, who married Capt. Daniel Goos. Her mother, Anna Marie Garig Moeling, lived in Lake Charles with them until her death, so until that time her grandchildren were listed in her Bible. There are several differences in the spelling. Katarina changed to the American Katherine; Moling or Molling now is Moeling, since two dots over the "o" give it that sound. The Bible is in possession of Miss Florence Rosenthal, Lafayette, La. She allowed Mrs. Krause to take photostats of the record, and she sent one, with the original German script, to the Society, as well as a typed copy of the translation. "The Bible was that of Elias Moling and his wife Anna Marie Gerig who was from Naystatau der Hart. She did not die until 1878, and the last entry is 1855, and only seven of the fifteen children of Capt. Daniel Johannes Goos and Katherine Molling are listed. She must have been too busy caring for her grandchildren to keep the entries up to date." It is also to be regretted that she made no entries for marriages or deaths. FAMILY REGISTER BIRTHS Anna Maria Moling born Gerig from Naystatau der Hart married Elias Molling in Neystatau in the Kingdom of Bavaria in the year 1824. Huber Molling was born February 23, 1825.

Page 3 BIBLE OF BERENICE ROXANNA QUINN NORMAN CLIPPINGS "T. J. (Thomas Jefferson) Wingard was born in Lexington County (S.C.) on February 21, 1840. He lived until March 22, 1928, making his stay on earth 88 years, 1 month, and ten days. He married Charlotte Satcher in 18--(67). His wife preceded him to her heavenly home years ago.. To this union were born four children, two boys and two girls, all of whom are living but one girl. He leaves 28 grandchildren and 25 great-grand children to mourn his passing. He was ill only ten days before his Heavenly Father called him home to rest. He was a member of the Methodist church, although he did not attend the services in his later years because of failing hearing and eye sight. He was a good Christian Man. We shall all miss him very much. May the parting not be long. May his life guide us all into the Heavenly portals, safe at last. By his Loved Ones, Shiro, Texas." (Probably from Shiro, Grimes Co., Texas, newspaper) "B. R. Norman died February 29, 1919. She was 78 years old on August 12, 1919. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church. Survivors include a daughter, Mrs. J. P. Rickard of Houston, Sam Norman of Sour Lake, J. P. Norman of Pankey, Mahlon and Lem of Shiro, two brothers, Rufus Quinn of Houston, and L. W. D. Quinn of Iola." "Lon E. Norman died of cancer of the throat at the age of 49 years old (no date given). He is survived by three children, Mrs. Prince Jolly, Mrs. Earl Shelman, Miss Lonice Norman, by five brothers, M. R. and L.M., Shiro, J.P. of Iola, D.W. of Singleton, Sam of Dobbin, and a sister, Mrs. Reid Rickard. Lon E. Norman started the first drugstore in Shiro." NOTE: Mrs. A. K. Bourgeous, Arizona who submitted the record to the society in April, 1961, also made the following notations: "The maiden name of Gibson Collins' wife was Elizabeth Wheatley, of Wilkes Co., Georgia, daughter of Joseph Wheatley. The initials of B. J. Quinn, who married Sarah Ann Collins stood for Barnett Jeter Quinn. He was the son of William Quinn Jr. and Rhoda Statham of Lincoln and Wilkes Co., Georgia. The initials L. W. D. Quinn stood for Leonidas William Davis Quinn. Gibson Collins, to whom the Bible first belonged, evidently passed it down to his daughter Sarah Ann Collins Quinn, who in turn passed it down to her daughter, Berenice Roxanna Quinn Norman, who in turn passed it down to her son, and my grandfather, Mahlon Roswell Norman. The Bible now in the possession of my aunt, Mrs. Alver (Willie Bowen) Rhoton, Shiro, Texas, is in poor shape now. A photostatic copy is owned by Mrs. L. G. Highnote, Corsicana, Texas. My copy is one I myself made about five years ago. I do not know when the Bible was published, but feel very sure the date given as its being bought (1827) is accurate. Delhi, Wilkes Co., is no more. It was once a crossroad settlement on the road from Washington to Elberton, Georgia. There is nothing there on the map any more. Page 4 My great-grandparents, John Lemuel Norman and Berenice Roxanna Quinn, moved from Wilkes Co., Ga. to Grimes Co., Texas about 1874. They also previously lived a short while in Bastrop, Texas."

In 1859 he joined the Congregational Methodist Church and remained an elder and pastor in that church until 1873 when he returned to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South and was admitted to the Mississippi Methodist Conference at Brandon, Miss. and appointed to the Thomastown Circuit. In 1874 he was appointed to the Carthage Circuit but at the close of that year, owing to bodily infirmation, he located.... Brother Davis died suddenly of dropsy of the heart on August 9, 1882, but his earnest, faithful life was enough. He was twice married. First to Mrs. Julia (Shelby) Mills in 1836, then to Miss A. E. Hendrix in 1862 who survives him. His body rests from its labors in the graveyard at Goshen Church, Leake Co. where most of his work was done. L.P. Meador. Obituary from the New Orleans Christian Advocate, May 1, 1879: William Hendrix was born in the Lexington Dist. of South Carolina on Nov. 28, 1796 and died suddenly of heart disease at his home in Leake Co. Miss. on the evening of April 5, 1879. Our venerated father became the subject of God's converting grace in Dallas Co., Ala. in the year 1820 and soon thereafter joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, near Monroeville, Ala. in which vicinity he settled, married and lived until his removal to Leake Co. Miss. in 1847. As soon as convenient after his arrival at his new home, he and the members of his family who were connected with the church presented their certificates and were regularly admitted at Goshen, Carthage Dist. In the year 1848 he lost his loved companion, the mother of his children, three sons and eight daughters. She was a helpmate indeed and a true and devoted Christian. His life was one of varied cares and responsibilities, but he moved on calmly and contentedly and industriously, ever trusting, never dispairing, believed that He in whom he trusted would do right. He was a man of unquestioned honesty and integrity, a lover of the truth, and followed fully the injunction of the Apostle, "Owe no man". He was a man of peace, never heard to speak ill of any. Was a dear lover of the Bible and read it through many times; he read it prayerfully and understandingly; he was a man of prayer and was a regular attendant at church as long as he was able to walk there. He freely and conscientiously gave of his means to support the gospel as long as he lived and said, "After I am dead I want the church to live". He lived to see all of his children members of the church, married and settled and all survived him but one. The writer knew him well and intimately and can exclaim" "Let me die the death of the righteous and let me last end be like his". O.H.P. Davis (Son-in-law).
