BIBLE: Poley Family Bible - Muhlenberg Co Nancy, I received from my grandmother, Lura McAhron Stanley, a book containing a family's birth, marriage, and death records. Some of them were from Kentucky. How my grandmother came to have the book I do not know, for the people named are unknown to our family. At the time I received the book about 1967, my grandmother lived in a rented house in Redding, Shasta County, California. Enterprise, now part of Redding, lies east of the Sacramento River. Lura was reared in Indiana and came to Oregon about 1903. Her father was born in Kentucky and moved to Indiana in the 1850s. Hand written on a separate, folded piece of paper is a prose poem entitled "Another Miracle," by Chas. Warner, West Butte, Montana, and ends with "Ashland Ore June 5, 1905. Lines from an old friends Son." Anyone wishing a copy can contact me. Please include this record in the Kentucky Bibles or anywhere else you think it might benefit others.
