    Christian Bible, a farmer in the Eighth District, was born in 1821 in the locality where he has since resided. He began life for himself in quite limited circumstances, and the property he now owns is the result of his own industry and good management. He owns upward of 800 acres where he resides. He was married February 6 1842, to Miss Louisa Tucker, a daughter of Abraham Tucker, a native of Washington County. Seven children have blessed this union: Mary E., now Mrs. Mysinger; Noah L., deceased; Martha E., now Mrs. Myers; Lydia, now Mrs. Harmon; Louisa J., deceased; Surrena E., now Mrs. Kinser, and Nathan H. Mr. and Mrs. Bible are members of the Lutheran Church, and Mr. Bible is a Republican and was a stanch Uri ion man. He is a member of the G. A. R. He is the ninth of eleven children of Adam and Elizabeth (Neas) Bible. Adam Bible and wife were of German descent.
