Okay, I'll Try This Again
The "again" refers to my previous post here.
This is the death remembrance of my grandmother's baby sister. As you can see, she only lived for 2 months, dated 1891. 
And this, although the top part has completely faded, is a page from a Bible (dated 1813, "printed by Sir D. Hunter Blair and J. Bruce, Printers to the King's Most Excellent Majesty". (Cool the way the "talked" then, eh?)
I can't make it all out, but one part at the bottom reads: "Catherine Kilborn at Kingston on Monday 5th November 1832 at 1/2 past 10 o'clock P.M. a Snow Storm in the morning, the first of the season". 
PEACE.
My grandmother used to write things like that down as well, so different the times are today.

JJ: It's a reference of people in the family, when they are born and when they die. In thi case, it would be recording her death. I have another page (probably from a different Bible) that documents the dates of the folks that I think I showed in one of those old pictures awhile back (the one with the old couple and five daughetrs). Sadly, it also lists 4 other children who all died quite young; one in infancy, one 2 years old, one 4. They didn't have health care in those days!
KS: Yeah, sometimes we get so caught up in today that we forget what got us here. think it's always worth a pause and time out. I look at this stuff from time to time just to remind me of that.
