"Levi David Hollingsworth's Bible


Your editor copied the entries in this bible record about 1960 by permission of our cousin, Mrs. Rachel (Hollingsworth) Higginbotham, of Huntington Park, California, a granddaughter. At that time, a rank amateur, the editor did not write down the date the bible was published or where. Levi David Hollingsworth was the 2nd son of Edward Earl Hollingsworth and Rachel (McFadden). He was born at or near Byron, Minnesota in 1863. He was married four times, and the first and last of them were sisters, Ida June and Mary Alice Southwick.
