LINEBERRY, Eva - Putnam

After the passing of Mrs. Eva Lineberry of Stilesville her will left to the Coatesville Public Library some 70 or more volumes that had been the property of her scholarly grandfather, Abner Miller.  Nearly every volume is well bound, may of them in leather and the dates of their publishing range from 1848, 1850, 1860 and some 1895.  Among the more prominent volumes are a leather-bound Bible, a Treatise on Algebra, Draper’s Philosophy, Pinneo’s Grammar and 19 volumes of leather bound encyclopedias.  In all these book, the print is extremely small.  It was interesting to take a look into Pinneo’s Grammar since this was the text book used in the Madison, Indiana School when her father was a pupil. That was more than 100 years ago.   -– kbz
