In Amos Family Bible

Digital photos of entries were attached to an email to me, dated 21 Jan 2013, in which Susan Wieferich wrote, "...This is probably as good a time as any to point out that the Bible clearly lists Margaret's marriage to James Heartz as Dec 9, 1875, and Florence's birth as Dec. 18, 1876. So far, so good.

However, the original Marriage Certificate is clearly dated December 19, 1876, and it is signed by James and Margaret, by Ellen Amos and William Heartz as witnesses, and by the minister. In fact, the date is spelled out as the "nineteenth." If the Marriage Certificate, with 5 signatures, is correct, and Florence's birth date of Dec. 18, 1876, is correct, then Margaret and James were married the day after Florence was born..."
