Submitter's note: This Bible was given to me by Mrs. Rose Dreher (deceased) of Leesville, SC many years ago. She told my sister and I that it really did not belong to her family or her husband's as they were not related. It had formerly been in the possession of Rachel Catherine Leaphart who was married to F.S. Lewie, then divorced and remarried to Laremore Hendrix. Mrs. Dreher said she wanted someone who was related to the Lewies to have it. I am related to them in more than one way.
