I am hoping someone can direct me to where I might find any information concerning the
marriage of Mary E. (Davidson) McClure to Daniel Kester which took place
January 22, 1878 in Randolph Co, IN.
Since Daniel preceded her in death I am also hoping for information on the location of
Daniel's family bible.

Mary E. Davidson June 01, 1849 in Harrison Twp, Darke Co, OH.

They are buried at Fountain Park Cem, Winchester, Randolph, IN
Children of Samuel M. McClure and Mary E. Davidson are Virginia "Jennie" D.
McClure, born 1850 in OH.
