I spent Easter Sunday at my dad's house. While I was there, he showed me several antique things that he and his wife Peg had picked up at estate sales over time. This old New Testament Bible was one of them. They also had a complete Bible from 1865 that looked like something a Civil War soldier would have carried! It's not pictured here, but this particular bible was written in. I belonged to Frankie Forbes and was a Christmas gift to him from Miss Kneeland in 1875. At some point in his life, he apparently resided at 122 Wabash Avenue, and then 216 Igdin Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. I don't know about you, but I think old things are kind of cool. I liked it so much my dad and his wife graciously offered this one to me as a gift.
