M.H. Gilstrap Family Bible
Milton Harrison Gilstrap
Family Bible – This is a large and ornate Bible weighing in at
12 pounds. It was
purchased in 1885 for $10.50.
The Gilstrap’s lived in Shoal Creek.
The name Gilstrap is almost always spelled with two Ls in the
entries. The Bible is
also inscribed as having been presented to Johnnie Gilstrap by his
father on April 17, 1944.
However, this was after Harrison Gilstrap’s death and it is
assumed Johnnie received it after his death either based Harrison’s
wishes prior to his death, or by custom because Johnnie was the
youngest son. It is
currently in the possession of Gary N. Gilstrap, having been
presented after the death of his Grandfather Johnnie Gilstrap on
2/25/1983.
