Have discovered an old MEEK family Bible in the family.  It's in pretty
bad shape and the publication info page is missing, but it appears from
the entries, etc that it dates from late 1800s (maybe about 1874). Many
of the entries are said to be in the hand (extremely neat and readable)
of M.J. MEEK while others are in a different (and harder to read) hand.
In the interest of sharing, here's the information contained in it:
