When Geneva Draper, of Pocatello, ID, sent me a copy of the family record in her great-grandmother’s bible, she also sent a picture of her great-grandparents, probably taken at the time of their marriage in 1857. The presentation page reads: "Presented to Lucretia Bonnell by her Husband Jacob Bonnell 1886."

Although George is listed as 29 years old, this appears to be a recording error by the enumerator, as he should be 39.
