Cross Family Bible Translation
The following is a translation of my Cross Family Bible entries:
On the inside cover it says:
Mrs. Charles Cross Stone Arabia
Miss Ella Cross Herkimer, NY
(I believe that Mrs. Charles Cross was the original owner of the bible and her daughter, Miss Ella Cross, inherited it from her.)
On the next page it says:
Family Record
Mr. & Mrs. Charles W. Cross Family
Miss Clara Cross
Miss Mae Cross
Mr. Charles Cross
Miss Elizabeth B. Cross
Miss Ella Cross
On the next page it says:
Family Record

On the next page it says:
Family Record
Charles W Cross 56 Departed this life June 15 1897
Nancy Snell Cross Departed this life Feb 17-1926 aged 87 years
On the next page it says:

On the next page there are two locks of hair. The first lock of hair is kind of a dark dishwater blonde. Under this lock of hair it says: "John Crosses Hair."
The next lock of hair is dark brown with some gray strands. Under this lock of hair it says: "Grandpas Hair 1874."
The next page is blank, followed by another page with three locks of hair sewn onto it. The first lock of hair on this page is a medium brown color. I can't make out the name under this lock. It may say Lucindas Cross Hair.
The second lock of hair on this page is blonde. Under this lock of hair it says: "Sarah Cross Hair."
The third and last lock of hair on this page is dark brown. Under this lock of hair it says: "Granny Crosses Hair Apr 18-1886."
