The Bible, published by Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron Ohio and New York, is in poor condition.

Information after the death of Lula Davis (her maiden name was also Davis) was entered by daughter Lydia. It is interesting that she was always known as Lyda, but in the Bible her name is clearly written Lydia. This Bible was given to Lyda's grandson Jesse Graftenreed upon her death. Jess is the only child of her youngest son Jerry Frank (also buried at Clarks Chapel)

Another interesting point is that although Lula recorded the dates of her children's marriages, she did not record who they married. Since all are buried in Clark's Chapel Cemetery I managed to figure out who they were.

Edna married Neal Summers than Thomas Groves

James Willie probably married a lady named Bertha and the James Olera Davis buried at Clark's Chapel is probably their son.

Lillian Audra married Chester Duffel

Lyda married Claude Graftenreed

Anna Em married Jimmy Nichols

Nolan Curtis married Alberta ?
