Contributed by Cindy FosterIsaac Newton Foster - Eliza Bushnell - Samuel Hurlburt Bible
Note: Everything prior to 1870 occurred in Schuyler County, afterwards was various counties in SW Iowa.
Inside the front cover of
the bible is written:
Dec -8th 1803 Moses S. Foster
Vergeua VT (Vergennes VT in Addison Co. is the closest I could come to
this town name), It would seem logical that this was perhaps Isaac Newton
Foster's father, but it is not proven.
Also inside the front cover
was written-
This book of books by God
was given,
Our lamp on earth
And guide to heaven.
