Isaac & Susan's Bible passed down and now in possession of the author, Laura J. Stewart.

This Bible was in a flooded basement in the Ohio River Flood of 1884 in New Albany, Indiana. This Bible was given to their son, Marion Clinton Stewart & his new bride, in 1853. Isaac's two youngest sons are not listed in the Bible. That is because the Bible was given to Marion before their births in 1854 & 1857.
