Juniata County, PA

From FHL film 0944765, the two items on this film are from the collection of David Shellenberger, Star Route, Mifflintown PA 17059 filmed 18 Aug 1973. The first is Bible Abstractions 1804 - 1895 and is a home produced pamphlet of typed abstractions from around 15 Family Bibles of various names. I include here only two of the Bibles, those belonging to Shallenbergers. The second, entitled Cemetery Records 1750 - 1973, seems to be David's personal collection of Juniata burial records, collected from published works, magazine/newspaper articles, pamphlets, and even handwritten notes. As there is no order, let alone index I have tried to find by hand the Shellenbergers in the long lists.
