No exact match in Hills. This Bible is severely water damaged, but appears to have dried out well, with no smells or really bad discolorations. All of the entries appear in just two handwritings, with the all-important year missing from a lot of the dates. There is also an obituary of Rev. James Dill, Civil War Veteran from Monticello pressed into this Bible.
