GARNER
Last known owner, Robert A. Garner, Brownsburg, Indiana. Information in parentheses did not appear in the Bible but was supplied by Irene Garner of Crawfordsville.
Note: After the death of his mother, Robert came back to Crawfordsville and resided until his own death on Feb 26, 2015 – not sure where the original bible is, I would guess the Crawfordsville District Public Library as they received all the genealogical searches of both Robert & Irene.
