Subject: [INMARTIN] Keeth-Acre Family Bible
Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 13:11:55 -0700


I have a family Bible that needs to find it's way back home again.
The Bible reads;
This is to Certify That Samuel J. Keeth of Orange County Indiana and Sarah E. Acre of Martin County Indiana Were united by me in the Bonds of Holy Matrimony at Joseph Acre's on the 12th day of March in the year of our Lord 1885 In the Presence of Harry Miller, Maggie C. Kirk Signed Rev. T.N. Elrod

The back of this page is the Birth page, it reads;
Samuel J. Keeth was born June 19, 1858.
Sarah Ella Keeth was born June 12, 1861.
Pauline Keeth was born February 9, 1894.
Clarence A. Keeth was born February 22, 1896

The Marriage page is blank.
The Death page reads;
Samuel J. Keeth died December 29,1931
Pauline Keeth died January 6, 1895
Clarence A. Keeth died August 31, 1918.
Sarah Ella Keeth died Dec. 28th, 1949.

I would like to get this Bible back into the correct family. My husband's great grandmother's 2nd husband was Albert Acre. We don't know anything about Albert's family but judging the age of the bride, Sarah E. Keeth, we are guessing Albert & Sarah were brother and sister and Joseph Acre (where the wedding was held) was the Father of Albert & Sarah.
My husband's great grandmother & Albert Acre had 2 baby girls a year apart and both infants died at about one year of age. So there are no descendant's of Albert to claim this Bible.
All of the children listed in the Bible have passed away but maybe they have descendant's who would like to have the Bible.
Please contact me,

Thanks to anyone who can help locate the "next of kin" to this Bible.
