Crawford County, Missouri Bibles - SPICER The bible was destroyed years ago, in a fire if I recall correctly what Elmer Spicer told me, but the Births page was salvaged and I have a zerox copy of it that I made in 1984 when I visited the Spicer family listed in the bible. The bible belonged to Elmers father, Daniel Collins Spicer [brother of my ggf] and the Births page was in his possession.
