I have been a family history researcher for a while now and a few years ago picked up a new hobby of rescuing family history items. I've found them at fleas markets, yard sales and online auctions and have set up a site listing, describing, and providing pictures of some of the items rescued.
One of the items rescued was a small Devotional Book that apparently belonged to Nancy Allen Bowman Clark. The book had a bunch of old family obituaries & wedding announcements from the late 1800's & early 1900's pasted in the front and back panels. Thanks to a couple of very nice Glean family researchers, I have been able to get more information on Nancy Allen Bowman Clark and would love to see this family history item returned to someone in her family!
Below is a brief description and list of the names included in the book. If you tie into this family please contact me for more details on how you can claim it!
