The above inscription is on the inside cover of the Bible.  G.A. and and L.A. Wood are George Abasalom Wood and his wife Lucy Ann Turner Wood.  The Bible was given to them by Lucy's parents Ezekiel E. and Charlotte W. Thompson Turner in Clermont County Ohio.  Neither George's or Lucy's parents names are included in the Bible nor are any places included. 

It has been passed down through Frank Clarence Wood, Clarence Richard Wood and is now in the possession of David Lawrence Wood of Florida.

Pages from the Bible showing births, marriages and deaths are included here.  They are presented as thumbnail copies.  To see the full original, click on the thumbnail.  A transcript of each of the pages is presented under the respective page. 

NOTE: I AM ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON EZEKIEL EDWIN TURNER'S PARENTS.  IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT ME.

A clipping from an unidentified newspaper/newsletter was found inside the Bible.  It was an obituary for Charlotte W. Thompson Turner from 1873.  The writer, J. H. Lockwood, was the minister that married George A. Wood  and Lucy A. Turner on Aug. 15, 1869.

The text reads:

"Near Bethel, Clermont Co., O., Dec 14, 1873, Sister Charlotte Turner, in the 59 year of her age.

Sister Turner united with the church at Bethel, in November 1832, in which she held her membership until death, a period of fourty one years. She was not only among the first, but also one of the most steadfast and devoted of our members. She will be sadly missed in the congregation and by her relatives and all who knew her, but especially in the home circle, by her heart-stricken husband and daughters, who were so suddenly bereft of one so true, kind and faithful in every relation. May their hearts be filled with the consolation of the precious promises of Christ.

J.H. Lockwood"
