CRIPPEN / REDFIELD FAMILY BIBLE
Submitted by Creig Crippen
These are copies of pages in Osmer Crippen's family
bible. I believe most of it was written by Ada Ann Crippen, Osmer's wife,
my grandmother. The last two entries on the obituary page were written
by Osmer's daughter, Florence, my aunt. The bible is in the possession
George Osmer Crippen, it was left to him by Aunt Florence when she died
in Oct. 1983. George O. Crippen presently resides at 160 E. Elm Dr., Orange
City, FL 32763.
The bible was published in Portland,
ME, by Geo. Stinson & Co. It contains two versions of scripture, the
King James and a revised version, in a two column format. There is no date
of publication given but this revised version came out in 1885 so I would
assume the book was probably purchased in the 1890s, from one of those
bible salesmen who used to travel the rural areas.
On the "MARRIAGES" page Ada has
entered the birth dates for Osmer and herself. She has entered that Osmer
was born in "the town of Rutland." There is no town by that name, Rutland
is the name of the township in which the village of Roseville is located.
Also she lists her birth place as "the town of Delmar", Delmar is not a
town it is the name of the township where the Tioga County seat, Wellsboro,
is located. Delmar Township is about 20 miles west of Rutland Township.
My father has told me that Ada
Ann Redfield was teaching school at a small country school near the
Crippen farm in the 1870s. That is how she and Osmer met, they were married
in 1879. It seems the Crippens of that generation were enamored of school
teachers. George Rush Crippen, Osmer's brother, also married a school teacher,
Lottie Seeley, whom he met at a local school. They were married in 1890.
My father, Eugene, was one of Lottie's students.
