STORY 1799 Book Oldest at Louisville LOUISVILLE (Special) The oldest book brought in for the competlon for National Library Week here was a big Bible print ed in English in Philadelphia by Thomas Dodson in 1799.

One with clasps, loaned by Miss Grace Hoover, printed in Struttgart In the 1820's bears the name of Hubert Inside the front cover and purports to be the thirteenth printing of Dr. Martin Luther's translation. The second old German Bible regrettably lacks Its front cover and a few initials pages but it seems to have been printed in 1853. It was brought to Amer ica from Germany by the father of Jake Relchart and was brou ght to the library by Mrs. Bill Myers. Mrs. Marion Biggs, Sr., sent in a large old Bible printed in Au burn or Rochester with a family legend attached. This bible evi dently belonged on a Confeder ate Steamer and was taken by a slave escaping as the steamer was fired by the Union soldiers during the Civil War. A "Kirchen-Gesanbuch" for Evangelical Lutherans under the Augsburg Confession, printed in St. Louis in 1888 had a leather cover embrossed with the name Edward Worthman, 1889, was sent in by Mrs. Hattie Worth man. A hand-sized Methodist Hymn book, carried to church by a Pennsylvania Dutch ancestor of Mrs. Clarence Crawford lacks its front cover and all pages up to I page 5. To establish the approxi mate dates of its printing was an interesting challenge and requir ed considerable research. On page 5 their is a list of six Me thodist bishops elected in the years of 1808-1832. The old school books brought in were examined with interest by youngsters. Among these were several McGuffey Readers for the earlier grades, and some in original printings and some in the revised readers.

An old family album, with tin types, and her mothers auto graph book, brought in by Mrs. Amy Dunn proved Interesting to children and adults alike. A copy of Nebraska Wesleyan's "Coyote" for 1908 contained a story writ ten by Harry Palmer. History and Financial Resources of Louisville printed in 1902, brou ght In by Mrs. Bill Myers should be emulated.
