Mrs. Edwards writes that when she was given the Bible in 1990 she was looking through it one page at a time wondering if there might be something in it. "When I got to Chapter V of the book of
Deuteronomy, I found a picture of my grandfather tucked into the binding. My grandparents had separated in about 1902 when my father was about eight years old. They never divorced. He died in
March 1912 of Bright's disease."
