German language Martin Luther Bible:

This Bible was published in 1904, 100 years ago.  It was purchased in 1906 by Rudolph and Carrie Malleis, grandparents of Mabel Welch.

The Bible contains the marriage record of Caroline Schilberg and Rudolph Malleis February 4, 1894 at First Baptist Church Newton, Kansas.  The births and deaths of their children is also noted.

Rudolph was born October 10, 1870 near Elbing, West Prusisa, Deutschland (Germany).  Carrie was born march 8, 1877 near Warsaw, Poland. Mabel’s mother, Elsie, and her aunts and uncles are included in the family information.

Mabel’s grandmother gave the Bible to her during one of her last visits to her grandmother’s home.  Since Mabel’s husband was an ordained Christian minister Carrie was certain this Bible would be cherished and cared for properly.

Rudolph and Carrie sailed to America with their parents to settle in Newton.  Following marriage in 1894 they homesteaded in the Oklahoma Territory.  Other family members joined in this move, and some family members still own property near Bessie and Clinton, Oklahoma.
