Today in the mail, we received my husband's Sharp family bible. It was given to his great grandmother by her father in 1825. She was born in 1812. So we're assuming for her 13th birthday. My husband's brother inherited the bible from their father and his daughter, my husband's niece who we have a great relationship with just sent it to us. We have wanted this bible for a long time as my brother in law had only daughters and we have male Sharp descendants that we want to pass it along to. There are some huge pressed leaves, and what looks like ribbons from wedding flowers and then some dried flowers also. I guess it could also be funeral flowers. A postcard and some pictures of women cut out of the newspaper.
Anyhow just wanted to say you never know what you will inherit someday. We are very thankful to have it even though its condition is not the best. Not sure what we can do to try and have it restored it but will look into it.
