This Bible belonged to Emma McCarty and was her primary personal copy. While she was not a frequent churchgoer, her faith was steadfast and deeply held. She regularly referenced Psalms 23 and 91, which she often quoted from memory.
Tucked between Luke chapters 15 and 16 is a handwritten list of scriptures penned by her husband, Foy McCarty, indicating shared devotional practice. On the back page of Foy's list are additional calculations and scripture notations in Emma McCarty’s own handwriting, offering rare insight into her private spiritual life and everyday engagement with the text.
