The book I refer to as the Coushatta Kellogg Bible may not exist in a readable form anymore. Several years ago, I received a copy of photographs that Clyde Wilmot Kellogg, Sr. had previously made of an old Bible owned by the John Ewan Kellogg family. There were four pages of handwritten notations of births, death, marriages, etc. It had apparently been brought from Alabama by Rebecca Frances Lindsey and her husband, Samuel Hiram Kellogg, Sr.
After Rebecca Frances death in 1916, possession apparently passed to Samuel Hiram Kellogg, Jr. (who died in 1918) and Louvicy Francis Hunter, who died on December 13, 1941 in Martin, LA., then to Bash Hiram Kellogg and his wife Barbara Morgan.
At the time the pictures were taken, the Bible was in very poor shape. Surprisingly, though, by blowing up the photographs and tinkering with them, I have been able to make them legible.
Size limitations for this site will not allow me to include those images, but I am glad to make them available to interested persons with a legitimate need or interest in them.
