I have recently come into possession of a very old bible. It is quite worn and falling apart, but it seems to have belonged to someone named Ettie Isch. The inside front cover says Ettie Isch, Bowling Green, OH. It seems to have belonged to a child, as there is writing on the inside fly leaf that looks like a child's writing. I'm not sure who it belonged to for sure, or how it came into my family's possession. Inside there is a certificate of graduation of the second grade for Dewey Johnson, my GGrandfather. Perhaps they were childhood friends? Also found a couple of prayer meeting calendars from 1899 and 1900 inside, one of which is signed by a John Isch. If anyone has any information on this family, and possibly their connection to mine, please email me at
