FOUND: Birthday Book of Addie Gertrude ORR
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, while searching for old photos in antique stores, I ran across a birthday book which belonged to Addie Gertrude Orr.
The book is 3 1/2" x 5" x 1" thick.It has a padded cloth cover, painted beige with blue flowers and green leaves.It was embossed after painting.There is a single page for each day of the year.At the top of each page is the day and month, followed by a short religious poem.The bottom of each page contains a unique scriptural quote.
The book was Copyrighted in 1942 by Augsburg Publishing House.The latest date entry in the book is for a death in 1997.
There are 99 clear entries in the book, and 20+ that have been erased, but are still legible.Some entries contain only birthdate, but some are much more informative.

Please let me know if you would like to have the book.I paid $10.76 (10 + tax) and would like to have that back + postage.
Plese DO NOT ask for look-ups, as there is no index and I would have to search all 400 pages again.
I hope that I can reunite this book with its family.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Regards,
Suzy
