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. 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.

A newspaper clipping found in the same Bible written by a “guest present” at the Grand Golden Wedding Anniversary, 1 September 1879, of Sam Horner and Mary Leah Andrew states that there were five persons living who attended their wedding in 1849 who also attended the golden wedding anniversary. Brothers and sister of Mrs. Horner: the two Andrews, Joshua T. and Thomas and Mrs. Sallie (Andrew) Ollis. The “guest present” refers to Uncle Sammy (Samuel Horner) and Aunt Polly (Mary Leah “Polly” Andrew Horner). Family lore speculates that the “guest present” is Eliza Horner McPheeters.
