8 feb 2010 NOTE from Ancestry.com Message Boards Dieffenbacher
Hi,This may seem to be a strange note, but I happened upon a very small
leatherbound old "Testament & Psalms", red in color, which has on the bac k
page (part of it is torn off) "_________ Dieffenbacher, 28 days old, ____ ,
15, 1881. I live in Illinois and wondered if you might recognize the date ,
perhaps, or know if it could have belonged to one of your ancestry. I
thought that I would try to pass it on to someone who had a family member
who's birthdate fit the date above, which would be actually be the
15th of the Month (whatever month that might be) in 1881. The
binding is loose, but still intact.
You may reach me by email at: darnkay@email.msn.com.(This email is not i s service, but I found her and she had given the book to someone else, sh e didn't remember the name. Darnell K. stierwalt, 192 Esquire Dr., Granit e City, IL 62040)
