Noah W. Reeves Family Bible


Introduction

Scans and a transcription of this Bible are contained in the book Loyd A. Reeves: His Ancestors And His Descendants by Mary Alene Reeves Bailey, a copy of which is housed at the Abbeville County, South Carolina Public Library. Transcription corrected with original wording per images.

The author provides the following introduction:
Noah was given a Bible by his nephew Adam D. Crecelius that was copyrighted in 1857. After his and Margaret's death, the Bible was in the possession of a son Reason Wade Reeves who was living in Galveston at the time of the September 8, 1900 hurricane and flood. The Bible survived the flood, but it was water damaged and some pages faded to the facing page. The Bible is now in the possession of a descendant of Wade's daughter Willie Lena Reeves Barnes, who has passed away since I last looked at the Bible.
