History

From John R. Rea it is surmised the Bible went to his son Frank Rea. Since Frank Rea died in South Bend, where Dorothy Haner (Aunt Dorothy), his daughter, was living, and she entered the comment, in 1967, that the Bible records were up to date, it is believed she received the Bible at her father’s death in 1947. At Aunt Dorothy’s death, her son, Jerry Haner would have come into posession. Bud and Betty Haugh were asked to secure the valuables, at Jerry’s apartment, at the time of his death. It is believed Bud Haugh came in posession of the Bible at this time. Bud had promised the Bible to Kim Dancy. Both Kim and the late Mary Haugh Stigers were interested in the Bible. After Bud’s death Mary, very graciously, gave the Bible to Kim.
