Two other Bibles in the trunk:  One with no family information and one containing:

Savannah Easter Barlow was borne December 28, 1862

Oliver Cain Tolbert was born Jan. 5th 1854



Along with these three Bibles was an old photograph album.  The only pictures that Jesse Moore* was able to identify for me was one of Robert Moore and Georgia Barlow Moore, and one of Tom Moore, their oldest son.

There were 5 tin-types in the album, probably of her family; two 'calling cards' a handwritten one for C. S. Overstreet and a printed one for J. H. Thomas, and one frustrating picture of three young women with a handwritten note on the back which says -- 'guess you know all of the monkeys on the other side!'



*Jesse Moore has just died this year; residence was Jay, Santa Rosa Co., Florida
He and his wife Opal had the old trunk which contained these records.  They had no children, so gave them to us.
