| Family Bibles William Ferriss |
.
Holy Bible in English; Case, Tiffany and Company, Hartford, 1851
The Bible is now in the possession of the C. G. Brisee Genealogy Library, Irwin, Iowa.
The family Bible of William & Almina (Downer) Ferriss. It appears most of the entries
were made when the Bible was new, as they are in the same hand and in the same ink.
Also some of the earlier records lack specific days or months.
