The entire Bible is printed in German,
so I can't read the print, but
I can
make a few things out - D Martin Luthers - Germantaun
1819.
At the back of the Bible are 4 enteries
that I can not read. They
appear
to be in a Swiss / German dialect. I have had several
"Germans"
look at the
inscription and they can not read it. They tell me it is a local
dialect.
The following enteries are written in
English, and are the children
of Mary
(Leopard) Musser and, her husband, Henry Musser from
Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
"William Musser was born the 17 of febuary in the year 1839"
"John Musser was borne th 9 of November in the year 1840"
"Ed Win Musser was born th 30 of October in the year 1843"
"Samuel Musser was born th 5 of June 1845 in the year"
"David Musser was born sebtember 13th in
the year 1852"
This family settled on land in Richland
Township, near Metz, in 1854.
