The Holy Bible pictured above is dated 1875. Though it's binding and pages are tattered and decaying the owner no doubt cherished the Bible as inside it's precious pages are keepsakes rarely discovered including a lock of blonde hair wrapped in tissue paper, a map dated 1886 titled Denver and Rio Grande Railways, and to this writer, a remarkable gift second only to the gift of the scriptures written by the inspiration of our Heavenly Father himself, is the fact that the original owner saved newspaper clippings that tell such fantastic genealogies and histories that without them are stories forever untold.
Susannah Beggs united to the then widow Hamilton Jacob Bottorff on March 2, 1875. This Holy Bible may have been a wedding present. If the heirloom was in fact a gift to the newly wedded couple, Mrs. Susan [Beggs] Bottorf must have been a remarkable women as the page left blank for the owner to fill in marriage information is hand written in beautiful script giving honor to her new husband's first marriage.
