I believe this Bible was primarily used and kept by Willard Shackelford, also known as "Sally Willard" and "Bodie" who later married Corbett Lindon. It was among her books when she died at the home of her nephew, Vernon, in West Middletown, Ohio, in 1989. It is currently in the possession of Patricia Shackelford Hobson of Cincinnati,
Ohio. |
