Jacob Hooks Bible

The "Bible" was given to my Father (Henry Mac Hooks) by his Sister (Mide Hooks 
Mercer) many years ago. It stayed rapped up in a plastic bag, inside a brown 
grocery bag and stuffed in the top of his closet.

When I became interested in learning about my Family Heritage in 1989, I asked 
my Father, and he brought out the old Bible, not knowing what information was 
inside. We started learning together, ever so gently, turning page by page 
through the old Bible.

I have built a box out of cedar to preserve and store the Bible for future 
generations. To reduce the handling of the brittle pages, I took photographs of 
the pages that had historical information on them. Of course I'm not a 
professional, so some of them didn't come out that great and I'll have to 
translate them.

The following is my translations to the best of my knowledge, the pages of 
"Jacob Hooks Bible".
