John Raymond Geer Family Bible
The John Raymond Geer Family Bible was transcribed in a letter from S. A.
Hoyle to Etta, who lived in Owego, NY. Additional notations were made by S.
A. Hoyle, these will be in parenthesis and then some correspondance was
added at the end of the letter. The publishing information is not known, nor is
the present location of the Bible known. The letter was written approximately
in 1927, this is based on other items in the folder with the letter.
