Family Bible

My mother's family bible has changed hands! The Aspinwall bible, which Dad has taken care of for the last number of years, is now in my hands. Dating back to the late 1860s, the bible faithfully recorded all family births, deaths and marriages until the mid-1970s, when it's maintenance was disrupted with the death of my mother's parents (Mark and Gladys Aspinwall). At that point, it came into our family's possession, and since my Mom's death, Dad has been taking care of it. An expensive re-binding has put the bible in near mint condition. Amongst other items, also included with the bible was a lock of my mother's hair from when she was seven months old, and a hand-decorated Christmas Pageant program from when Mom was in grade school at Garfield Elementary, the same school I went to in Olympia.
