This inscription made by Sally Foy appears in a New Testament in my
possession:
It reads, "This is Philip's when I am gone to my last sleep in this
world. With love, and may God bless you all. Grand Ma." Philip refers to
my father, Philip
M. Carden, who also wrote in the bible as follows:
It reads, "My Grandma Carden was born Sally Foy in 1850. She left me
this when she died in 1935. I now give it to her great grandson, my youngest
son, Thor Foy Carden, who can probably make better use of it while he has
young children. Papa. January 5, 1987." This was my 36th birthday gift
from my Father.
