FOSTER FAMILY BIBLE

THE FOSTER FAMILY BIBLE RESTORATION PROJECT

This is a picture of page 679 of the Foster family Bible. This Bible was once owned by Joel Lewis Foster (1766 - 1834), my great-great grandfather. The other two pages have not been restored yet, but we are currently working on this project and expect to have it finished soon.
