Book of Mormon - Fifth Chicago Edition

Description: It is often hard to know the provenance of a book this old but for this book there is a hint. While it is hard to read the name on the endpaper, it is easy to read that the Reverend who own the book lived in Kokomo, Indiana. Tucked inside was a calling card from Elder Alma Findlay, Jr. (1892 – 1976) that has the LDS Articles of Faith on the reverse side. Born in Laketown, Rich, Utah Territory he served in the Northern States Mission and died in Bloomington, Bear Lake, Idaho where the calling card is from. Is it possible to assume they both served in the Northern States Mission? A very beautiful copy of this Fifth Chicago Edition. Condition: Dark black hardbound cloth boards with gold gilt title on the spine, with a debossed border around the front cover, textured insert, and scroll design in the center, which is replicated on the rear board as well.
