    Paul was given some pages form a Bible belonging to his great grandmother Lula Swan Strange.  These pages provided birth dates and some other information on family members.  The Bible is identified on page 3 as "Lula Strange her book," a common way of identifying a personal book in that era.  The notes appear to be in Lula's hand, as there are some personal references and the handwriting is uniform.
