I am a user of your wonderful website and thought I might make a small contribution to it. I have my husband’s (Grover Blend) great-grandmother Delphine Place Slade’s bible in which she and others (unknown) entered some data. Thought you might use it. The entries are in several handwritings; the only one I recognize is Irene Slade Blend’s. Pat HARNED Blend (Webblend@aol.com) Farmington Township Page
