These are pages taken from the 1857 Fields-Drennen family Bible, along with handwritten notes and a marriage certificate. In January 2004 the three family pages were removed from the Bible, and the Bible was given to the Office of the Mayor of Warren, Ohio to use when performing marriage ceremonies. A photograph of an unidentified man was donated with the Bible, as was a recipe for “Aunt Julia’s medicine”, dated May 29, 1887.
