Treasure Chest Thursday~Family Bible of My Great Grandparents


I knew of the William J. Purvis Family Bible for many years but was always unsuccessful in getting the keeper of the Bible to give me access to it or copy the pages and send them to me. I was living in Utah and was seldom back home in North Carolina. In a last ditch effort, I solicited a fellow classmate and he was successful. I will be eternally grateful for his success in acquiring these Bible pages for me.
