This Bible was in the home of my maternal grandmother, Irene Pitt Arnold. It
would have originally belonged to her mother, Eleanor Walston Pitt, who lived
with my grandparents, Jim and Irene Arnold along with my mother, Josephine Arnold, until
Eleanor's death in 1932. When my mother, Josephine Arnold Worsley died in 2003,
it passed on to me after having been submerged under water for at least a week
during the Edgecombe County flood of Sept. 1999. --Arnold Worsley, 2014.
The following is a transcription of the scanned

Note that Jesse and Eleanor (Lena) Walston Pitt had eleven children, only
five of whom survived to adulthood.
