I purchased it in hopes of finding the George Parker listed in the book being my grandfather (about the right time and place). Since that time I have come across information indicating that the George Parker listed is not from my Parker line. The document dealer could offer no history of this Bible. The information below comes from transcriptions in the Bible (made by several people) and enclosed sheets of paper (one person's handwriting). Some of the handwriting is both poor and faded, best guess on a few names and spellings. Several misspellings/respellings exist throughout the Bible and are truly represented.. 20 (Inscription in blue ink) This was the Kitzmiller bible Daniel Kitzmiller it belonged to Mary Ellen and George Parker parents of Grace (Parker) Culp grandparend of Flossy (Culp) Kaiser.
