    Room 522 Skyscraper Uniontown, Pa May 30th, 1922 Tuesday 2:11 PM
          I went over by taxi at 11 AM today to No 116 Whyel Ave which is a brick
  street in North Union Tp turning to the right up the hill off of N. Gallatin Ave
  just a little this side of the Frank L. or Mary M. Brooke home to see Mrs "Meta"
  Wilson, widow of Morgan S. Wilson.  She was alone today & was downstairs
  washing.  She admitted me & upon my telling her what I wanted, she said she had
  one old Bible which she had put in a box recently up in the attic.  She went
  upstairs & brought down what she had said was the Bible of Morg's [best guess]
  Uncle Squire John Wilson & handed it to me at 11:11 AM.  It is a large well
  preserved Bible in perfect condition printed in NY in 1866 by the American
  Bible Society. The record was in a neat well written plain hand which I thought
  looked like Morg's handwriting & she said it was, but she didn't know from what
  he copied the record, but it evidently was copied from an older Bible record of
  his grandfather James Wilson.  I told "Meta" about being in Grand Ridge, Ills &
  seeing Emma Alice Poundstone abt Sept 28, 1921 & of her sending her regards to
  her.  She said "yes, she & I are first cousins, our mother's being sisters".  I
  am transcribing here the record I took from the Bible, on scratch paper I had
  taken along.
