Bio History Note

Ferne Baldwin, former archivist and historian, appears to have identified the book as the John Miller Family Bible.

Clippings, that appear to have been obituaries, were probably adhered to pages in Bible. 

Written within the Bible is the following:

Joseph (?) Fike and Susannah Miller were married January the 18, 1857 and in the same summer joined church and at a Regular Meeting were baptized at Berkley's Mill by Elder Samuel Berkley.
