Hello Cousin James,

Enclosed are the pictures and transcription of the newspaper article
of Thomas Tobias Livingston's 85th Birthday, that I spoke of before.  

There is a lot of information in there about his life, so I thought 
you might be interested in it.  I have also included a picture of his 
daughter and her husband (my great-grandmother [Mary Jane (Livingston) Bosket] 
and great-grandfather [Stephen William Bosket]).

I've been told that Mary Jane (Livingston) Bosket was nearly blind and by
the info stated in Thomas' wife's (Nancy Christina Jones) obituary, I
believe Nancy (Mary Jane's mother) was also blind at the time of her death.

I also just want to state that the paper with Jacob Livingston and his wife 
and children listed, is not a  page directly from the Bible.  It's a paper 
I found folded inside of the  Bible.  

The Bible was Thomas Tobias Livingston's Bible and has his name
"Thomas Livingston" in gold lettering on the front of it.  The
other hand-written marriage, birth and death entries are actual 
pages that are part of the Bible.  

I have attached the picture of his name on the Bible as best as I 
could get it anyway!  It's a little faded and difficult to read.  

I found all kinds of things tucked away in his Bible!

It's a HUGE Bible (3 1/2 inches thick) and there were newspaper 
articles, four leaf clovers, a rose, tree leaves, assorted papers 
and small card-type things etc..., even a piece of fabric from my 
grandmother's wedding dress that she must have put in there.  And 
it smells very strongly of smoke, but more of a burning wood smoke 
rather than a pipe or cigar. : )
