Aunt Jane's Bible

A historical account of the hardworking farmers in rural Franklin County, Virginia, devoted to their faith as members of the German Baptist Brethren church. Their homestead was a bustling hub of activity, with eleven children running around. The hardships of the War Between the States hit the Montgomery family hard, with one son conscripted into the Confederated Army and meeting a tragic end in a Confederate army hospital.Despite the heartbreak, the Montgomery siblings scattered across the country, with two daughters choosing to remain in Virginia while the rest sought new opportunities in Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, and California. Tragedy struck once again when two sons, including an elder in their church, took their own lives in Kansas. The Montgomery family tree now boasts a myriad of common descendant names like Boitnott, Burger, Flora, Flory, Hodges, Miller, and many more, each carrying their own piece of the family''s history.
