Publisher: A.L. Normans Lith. Inst. Stockh. 1899 Book measures approx. 6.25" x 4" x 1.5" Beautiful smaller Swedish bible blind stamped with a cross, front cover. Gold gilt lettering on the spine. Hand script in fancy penmanship by the previous owner on the first blank page. News clippings and separate handwritten note. There is a 3 by 4.5" black and white photograph of a casket with flowers by a grave site. The clipping states that one of the first settlers in Clarkfield County, Minnesota. Bernt Anderson, born in Ness Hedermarken, Norway passed at age 77 years. Quite the history he had in that town. (Clarkfield, Friendship Township, Yellow Medicine County, Minnesota) Cover shows rubbed and edge wear with the worse being a worn spot at edge of spine. Still very tight and secure binding. Interior clean. A single clover on page 8. Wonderful early bible for your collection or hopefully some town or genealogy needs.
