The grandson who has the
Bible did not make a copy of the title page for
me to get the date, but
his mother Evelyn Haynes Taylor, daughter of
Maggie Jones identified
the Bible and writing as that of her mother.
Evelyn died from Pneumonia
March, 2000 at age 91. She was vital in mind
and spirit right up to
the end.

best transcriptions I can make of a copy of a Bible

left as is.

BIBLE REOCRDS OF ADA ALMA HUFF JONES
wife of James Dock Jones. The Bible was lent to me by Onzell Jones
Esco , the daughter of Alma Ada Huff and James Dock Jones.
A good portion of
the Old Testament is missing , but the sheets to write births/deaths./mearriages
were in the middle between Old and New Testament. There is no front
page, but I the center is the following information;
Red Letter Art Edition
with the words of Jesus Printed in Red.
(trade)
The COMBINATION
(mark)
NEW TESTAMENT of Our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
Showing in simple form
all changes, additions and omissions made by the revisers, and enabling
all readers to see at a glance wherein the two version differ. Translated
out of the Origianl Tongues and with the former Translations diligently
compared and Revised. Conformabel to the Edition of 1611, commonly
known ats the Authorized or King James Version
At the botton it has a
globe surrounded by rays. On the globe is a book entitled Holy Bible,
a "belt across the botton 2/5 stating "The Light of the World". The
world is resting on a book and below are the words "Trade Mark" There
is no date that I can find in the portion of the Bible that remains.
