Shuman Family Bible

The Shuman family Bible details the children of Charles Augustus Shuman and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Beatty Shuman. It is currently owned by C.A. and Lizzie Shuman's living great-granddaughter. It is in fairly poor condition, but most of what has been written is still legible. I hope to get better photos/scans of it at some point, but these photos are better than nothing for now.

Simply click on an image below to enlarge it.

"This certifies that C.A. Shuman and Lizie Baty were solemnly united by me in the holy Bonds of Matrimony at Charlotte, N.C. on the 1 day of September in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and 85 conformably to the ordinance of God and the Laws of the State."

There appears to have been more written in the lower right corner of this page - perhaps 1943? I'm not aware of any births or deaths in the family happening in the year 1943, so I don't have a good guess as to what this could have said at this time.
