Bible of Mary Winston Jewel Shields, 1764-1973 - Montgomery Co. VA This Bible was in the possession of Mary Shields at the time of her death. It was a gift to her from her "Aunt Lucy" ( Lucinda Nunley). Except for the original inscription at the front indicating that Lucinda Nunley presented the book to Winnie Jewel on 30 August 1932, the handwriting is that of Winnie Jewel Shields. The information was most probably compiled from that listed in the Bible records that follow. This is a very small Bible -- only 3_" by 5_" and about 2¬" deep. (Obituary of) MRS. LUCY NUNLEY Mrs. Lucy Nunley, 90, died at her home near Edgement Monday, Nov 27 at 5:40 am, following a several weeks illness as the result of a fall.
