KITZMILLER FAMILY BIBLE
Known history of this Bible: I purchased this Bible at a temporary
booth at a shopping mall in Gadston, AL from a dealer in old documents.
I purchased it in hopes of finding the George Parker listed in the book
being my grandfather (about the right time and place). Since that time
I have come across information indicating that the George Parker listed
is not from my Parker line. The document dealer could offer no history
of this Bible.
The information below comes from transcriptions in the Bible (made by
several people) and enclosed sheets of paper (one person's handwriting).
Some of the handwriting is both poor and faded, best guess on a few
names and spellings. Several misspellings/respellings exist throughout
the Bible and are truly represented.. 20
(Inscription in blue ink)
This was the Kitzmiller bible Daniel Kitzmiller it belonged to Mary
Ellen and George Parker parents of Grace (Parker) Culp grandparend of
Flossy (Culp) Kaiser.
