The Bible, published by Saalfield Publishing Co., Akron Ohio and
New
York, is in poor condition.
Information after the death of Lula Davis (her
maiden name was also
Davis) was entered by daughter Lydia. It is
interesting that she was always known as Lydia, but in the Bible
her name
is clearly written Lydia. This Bible was given to
Lydia's grandson Jesse Graftenreed upon her death. Jess is
the only
child of her youngest son Jerry Frank (also buried at
Clarks Chapel)
Another interesting point is that although
Lula recorded the dates
of her children's marriages, she did not record who they
married. Since all are buried in Clark's Chapel Cemetery I
managed to
figure out who they were.
Edna married Neal Summers than Thomas Groves
James Willie probably married a lady named Bertha and the James
Olera
Davis buried at Clark's Chapel is probably their
son.
Lillian Audra married Chester Duffel
Lyda married Claude Graftenreed
Anna Em married Jimmy Nichols
Nolan Curtis married Alberta?
