I am cleaning out shelves and boxes to accommodate my smaller apartment. I have decided to discard a bible given to me by my grandmother, Martina Dalebout Duffin. Before I do, I want to share the pictures and short story of this book.
This is a King James Bible published in 1941. It is leather bound. It was purchased by Martina from a door-to-door salesman. I don't know if she knew or only assumed, but her reason for purchasing the book was to help the man who was trying to support his family during those difficult economic times.
Although the cover is very warn, the interior was left unmarked. For that
reason I felt that the value was in the story and not the tattered
bible itself.
