I've "rescued" a small little old bible belonging to Bertie BURGER. The
bible was published in 1873. Her first name is written in the bible as
"Albertie" and "Alburttie" and then as "Bertie" with at least one entry
seeming childlike as if the bible was hers from childhood.
She also writes the following additional names on a page along with her own
name:
Thurlow BURGER
Eliza BURGER
Nettie BURGER
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding this family:
Alberta BURGER was b. 16 Nov 1867 in Knox Co. OH to parents Samuel BURGER
(b. Apr 1816 in Washington Co. MD) and Eliza Ann MCCREARY (b. 6 Jan 1830 in
Dauphin Co. PA). Alberta was one of 6 children born to this couple
including, Rollin, Ellen, Thurlow D., Olive A.; Netta or Nettie Ann, and
Alberta BURGER, all born between 1850 and 1867. Alberta died 2 Sept 1946 in
Knox Co. OH and is buried in the Mound View Cemetery in Mt. Vernon, OH.

I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
bible can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this
family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
