TYE'S FROM KENTUCKY

Hello,
My husband's aunt lives in Reidsville, N.C.She goes to the yard sale type thing. The people that sales the items get the items from auctions that nobody wanted to bid on. She was given a bible that has Hiriam Speed Tye's name on it. It is copyrighted in 1900. Hiriam Speed Tye's name is engraved in the bible. It also has old Christmas cards and letters in them talking about how manly Speed looked in his uniform.
My husband's aunt went back up to the sale the next Friday and saw a OLD family photo album of the Tye Family. She was going to buy it but she could remember Speed's name. She said that it had mostly black people in the album.
Is this person related to you? If so she said that you could have the bible if he is kin to you. Please contact me at [email protected]. My name is Janie Ore. Oh, yeah. She also said that the bible was giving to Hiriam Speed Tye in Oct. 1922.
