Kinker Family Bible E. H. KINKER & LUCY KINKER
The following is posted on the "Somebody's Links" newsletter.I do not have it.Please read the post:
o While on business in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, a
friend and customer of my husband gave me the Bible described
below to try to find a family to which it might mean something.
It was found in her husband's store after he died some years
ago (Newsom Oil). I have no interest in this particular Bible
other than finding a related family who would want to have it,
only for the cost of postage or UPS delivery.
The Bible is The People's Standard Edition of the Holy Bible
printed by WM. Garretson & Co. (sold by subscription only)
66 North Fourth Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "Entered
according to Act of Congress in the year 1876 by Bradley & Co."
The family information includes the birth dates of E. H. KINKER
(1830) and Lucy KINKER (1832) and their children, beginning with
Sarah Alice in 1855 and ending with James Emmett in 1878. The
last death listed is that of Mary E. BOWEN (her married name,
surely, as there is a Mary E. listed in the KINKER births). In
addition, there are letters from Southside Virginia (Petersburg
and Ebony) and several pictures, some of which have names
written on the back. There are also several newspaper clippings
that might prove of interest, particularly the obituary of
Fitzhugh L. BOWEN.
