| Notes |
- Josiah lived in Roxbury, Massachusetts and was a house painter. In a Bible that Josiah gave to his son, George, he wrote the following:
"My Dear Children:
I want to write a few lines in this Book. Not to add to its contents, but that you can look back years from now and say my father wrote that. My father wrote in the Book to me and has taught me to believe in the Spirit of it, that is my desire, that you may believe in the Spirit of this Book, and live in this world as you wish you had when you go to the next. You have started on a voyage through this world (I have got most through it) and as a ship must have a pilot, so must you have one. You may meet with shipwreck and disaster, yet you will come safe into Port if you believe in the Author of the Bible. I would not give up my Faith in God for all the world contains. He is my all, you may take all else, but He remains and I want no more. On my dear ones, do trust in Him now while you have health and strength to do it. Trust Him as you trusted me when you were young. I could write a volume to you but this must do, and if, I had all the world to leave you, it would be nothing compaired to the desire, that you may trust in God."
"Your-affct Father
J.J. Munroe" "Boston Highlands Nov. 4th 1872"
The front of this bible is inscribed: "George and Emma Oct. 30, 1872"
