Mary Causey Bell Scott Bible

Note: This Bible, more accurately called the MARY CAUSEY BELL SCOTT BIBLE, was originally published in MISSISSIPPI CEMETERY and BIBLE RECORDS, IV, PP 18-19 and has appeared in various transcriptions on the Internet. A recent examination of photocopies of the Bible, however, revealed numerous errors of omission (and commission) in the original publication and transcriptions. While the location of the original Bible is unknown, J.C. Bell, Slidell, LA is in possession of the photocopies. Since corrections to Volume IV are not feasible, a corrected transcription by M.A. Causey and J.C. Bell is submitted below:
