Ruth Etting's Bible
Believe it or not, Ruth's bible is up for auction on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Ruth-Etting-Bible-Signed_W0QQitemZ280191166436QQihZ018QQ
The bible is signed "Ruth Etting Alderman" in red pencil, in the front, and photo they show is blurry, but it looks like her signature - and there are other existing instances where she used a red pencil to sign her name. The description states the bible came from her assistant, before she died, in Colorado.
The bible looks just like my Grandma's bible - also the King James version. Very much a 1970's version!
The auction ends January 17, 2008 at 09:36:18 PST.
Update on 1/18/2008 - it sold for $81.00 to someone with a username of biblicalarchives. Sounds like a good home for it!
