The EDWARDS - BETTLER BIBLE Family Record Pages

These records were started by Florence Suter Edwards and later added to by Elizabeth Edwards Bettler.  The Bible was originally owned by Francis Marion "Frank" Edwards and Florence Lorena Suter Edwards, and passed on to Florence Elizabeth Edwards Bettler and John Jacob Bettler, Sr.  After Elizabeth's death it came into the hands of her daughter Florence Madeline Bettler Franczak, and at Madeline's death was passed on to current family archivist Virginia McCreary Taylor, Madeline's niece.

The jpgs provided here have been reduced somewhat to allow for faster downloads, but we have larger files if anyone would like to receive them.
