Simmons Bible

This Bible was purchased at auction on eBay. I am not related to these people. 

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments. Auburn: Published by
Alden Beardsley & Co., Rochester: Wanzer, Beardsley & Co. 1851. Similar to
Hills #1488, but mine is dated 1851 not 1852.


The family record is loose and only has the marriages/
births page remaining. A very old negative was inside
this Bible; I have scanned and reversed the image.


This bible is currently in the possession of Tracy St. Claire
of 114 Hilltop Lane, Sleepy Hollow, IL 60118.
