This is all that is written in the Bible. Even though some of the entries are dated after Elizabeth Burgess's death, they were entered by my Aunt Luella (Burgess) Casey and myself. This Bible is currently in the possession of Jason A. Lowery. I've tried to be as true to what was written as possible.
