The following are the transcribed front pages from Samuel Hornor and Mary Leah "Polly" Andrew’s Bible. I assume that it next came into the possession of Annet Hornor/Horner (Mrs. Levi Pitman Hottel). Annet was the daughter of Mary Leah "Polly" Andrew and Samuel Hornor/Horner. The Bible is now in the possession of my sister Karen. Previously it had been in the possession of my 1st cousin 1 time removed, Carol Jean Shrum (daughter of Lillian Roberts and Guy Shrum). Aunt Lillian's mother was Lillie Mae Hottel Roberts (Mrs. Samuel Addison Roberts). The Keepers: "Polly" Andrew Hornor > Annet Horner Hottel > Lillie Mae Hottel Roberts > Carol Jean Shrum > Karen
