(I recently received this bible record from the DAR file records. The
whereabouts of the actual bible today is unknown to me. The record was attested to by
Samuel H. Standefer in 1965. The notarized record reads: "I, Samuel H. Standefer of
San Diego, State of California, being duly sworn, certify these records are the same as in
original Bible, now in possession of my aunt Mrs. Minnie Standefer Kinsey, of
Bonnerdale,
Arkansas. Copied August 1964 by me. Signed, Samuel H. Standefer, March 17, 1965." A
copy of the front bible page is attached. No dates.)
