There are several mysteries that have to do with this Murrell Family Bible, but one of them has been solved- that is the details about Mary M. Hontz and her family. (More on that in a future post.) We still do not know when this bible was printed or purchased (see Sentimental Sunday- Murrell Family Bible, Part 2). Even more vexing is the origin of Wiley Anderson “W.A.” Murrell and his parents- there are many various thoughts among researchers but no proof (yet).
Here is a transcription of this entry:
Wile Murrell
Was Married to
Mary M Huntz
in the year of
Our Lord March
the 10. 1834
Their first child married in 1857, but it is curious that none of these marriage events have been added to the bible.
