Book, The Holy Bible from 1873 in poor condition. Belonged to Carrie Richardson. The GCIHS wrote and directed a play about Carrie Richardson which can be found on DVD in the museum. Carrie Richardson was able to navigate a boat by celestial navigation, she lived down in what is now the Heliker LaHotan foundation. Her husband Meltiah Richardson committed suicide, he tied cod weights around himself and jumped off the dock.
