(then it looks like:) " me & bull kna he by the sounds of the nailer in his barn. & in my one by me X me & bull meet him by and by ????? ------------- William Edward Benson Died May 28, 1915 George Rockwell died April 8, 1944 Jennie Raifsider died Jan. 18, 1932 Helen Rutan died Nov. 23, 1948 TRANSCIBER's NOTES: 1. I don't know if there were both a Gantt and a Gott family, here, or if someone mis-spelled Gantt as Gott or Gatt. There definately is no sign of an "n" in some of these surnames. 2. If the deaths, that are recorded, are really Gantts, then some of the dates and ages given for deaths, do not agree with birth dates. You will have to use other data to corraborate some of the dates. 3. Maybe the new owner of this bible, Laurie Gilman of Sunderland, MD, can make more sense of the words in between the ????? above.
