[CLOUGH-L] CLOUGH BIBLE
by by way of "Bonnie S. Dannenberg" <bonniesd@Together.Net>
"Sheffield" could also be in Vermont, USA. My grandfather Trefley Carl
LaClair was born in Sheffield, VT Aug 12, 1888. His oldest daughter from his
second marriage, Virginia, married Clayton Clough between 1945-1955. Some
time after the marriage they moved to California.

Hello; I'm hoping you can help me. I have a small, old Bible that I believe I
got at a Flea Market, or antique store. On the back inside cover are names
and dates of a few "Clough" family members. I would like to give this bible
or the information to whoever might be interested. I really don't know where
to start, but your name is given as a contact on the Rootsweb
Clough Family Page.
The Bible says "Park Wesleyan Sunday School, Jubilee Year 1864, Sheffield" on
the front cover. I am assuming this is Sheffield, England. Inside there is a
label inscribed "Presented by the Teachers and Patrons of the Park Wesleyan
Sunday Schools to Susannah Reamy, scholar, Admitted March 6th, 1864." I'm
guessing this was a little presentation Bible for good Scholarship, etc.
The inside back cover states: Benjamin Henry Clough, Born June 22, 1883,
Albert Earnest Clough, Born Feburary 28th, 1886, Ellen Elizabeth Clough, Born
on the 27th day of July 1891, Died April 28, 1895. If you think this
information or the book itself would be of any interest to anyone, just let
me know.
Thanks!
