Family Bible of Mashack Crouch


07 Jun 1995, Mr. Roger R. Crouch of Chicago IL sent the following information from the Crouch Family Bible of Mashack Crouch (1832-1898). The Bible is The New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: translated out of the Original Greek; and with The Former Translations diligently compared and revised. Published 1867 by American Bible Society; New York. The comments & notes are all those of Mr. Roger R. Crouch.
"This bible record was apparently compiled by two or three people. The title page is dated 1867 so the earliest dates are from memory. The book was in the possession of Mashack Crouch Jr. the son of Mashack Sr. who was born 1874 and who could not have entered anything much prior to his adolescence at the earliest. If the writing on the first page is his he recorded that from memory and then on the next page began writing dates as they occurred. The book passed from his possession at his death in 1940 to in-laws and now is in the possession of Mr. John Schellhase of Albuquerque New Mexico."
