Since this deals with my birth state I thought I would send this out to IN
lists and maybe someone reading this qualifies or knows of a person that
would be interested in this items. Was in the following newsletter.

We have an old, black and gold leather bound with brass clasp,
Bible that was given to our aunt, Leota Willis MADISON in
Danforth, Illinois, about 1980. There are no identifying
features in the Bible itself, however the following items were
found inside: (1) a calling card with the name Mrs. Kate M.
HENRY; (2) Marriage certificate for Marshall G. HENRY and Mary
C. DRULEY dated 8 February 1865 and issued In Wayne County,
Indiana. On the side of the certificate are the letters, in
ink, M.R.I. page 77; (3) a handwritten, in pencil by Lillie
HENRY, age 12, death notice for Wm. R. HENRY, 23 August 1879;
(4) a newspaper death notice for Emma Locke BONEBRAKE, 2 March
1880; (5) a photograph of a woman with a lace bonnet but no
identifying information; (6) several pieces of lace; (7) a
piece of twig with a paper attached indicating it came from
the old Elm where George WASHINGTON took command of the army
and dated 12 July 1895; (8) and a piece of fern from
LONGFELLOW's home in Boston also dated 12 July 1895.
If you are related to any of the above named individuals or
know of the family and would like to have these mementos and
the Bible, please contact me.
