Description
Three leaves of family record pages of the Long family Bible have penwork by Francis Blum, David C. Hoke and Thomas J.Stevens.
P.94.15.02 A: Printed on the front side only, this page is dominated by a huge gold wedding ring and other symbols of marriage. Entries made in ink script state that William Long and Ella E. Shimp were married in East Petersburg, on March 4, 1900, by A.S. Hottenstein.

Decoration is done in red and black ink as well as watercolor.
The reverse side lists the births of William and Ella Long and their five children (Norman S., Mary Edna, Raymond S., William S., and C. Earl Long). The first 3 names are by Blum, but the last two children's entries are done in different hands; William is done by David C. Hoke and Earl is done by Thomas J. Stevens. Signed at the bottom "David C. Hoke, Lititz, Pa., June 21, 1910".

Description
Two leaves from the Isaac and Annie (W. Shearer) Walborn family Bible, with pen work by Francis Blum and David C. Hoke
P94.15.01 A: This leaf is the record of marriage. Front side has printed scene of marriage ceremony with entries made with ink in cursive handwriting. Isaac Walborn of Mount Hope and Annie W. Shearer of Mastersonville were married at Manheim, PA, July 14, 1900, by M.E. Bachman, "Minister of the Gospel".
Reverse side has the heading "MARRIAGES" over a scene depicting a flower-festooned gondola with bride and groom under canopy. The single entry of Isaac & Annie Walborn's marriage is made by Francis Blum, whose signature appears at bottom right. Penwork is done in red, green, and blue.
P94.15.02 B: This has the record of "BIRTHS" on the front side and "DEATHS" on the reverse. Under the headings are appropriate images: an infant emerging from a large clam shell under "BIRTHS", and an angel kneeling by a grave under "DEATHS". Birth names of the parents and four children (Viola S., Joseph S., Leona May, and Alverta S. Walborn) as well as the heading "Children" are done in calligraphy by David C. Hoke, in colors of red and blue. Entry at the bottom of the page states "David C. Hoke Lititz Pa. Dec. 10 1912"
The reverse side, on "DEATHS" page, exhibits two more names done by the same hand as the front. Hoke has written the names Viola S. Walborn and Joseph S. Walborn in the same calligraphic style as the front. However, the death entries of Annie and Isaac are entered in cursive at a much later date (after 1945).
Note: In Francis Blum exhibit at Muddy Creek Farm Library 2003-2004. "Guest curator" John Parmer's genealogy research is included in this file.

Summary
The author of this diary is unknown. The translator, Julius Sachse writes in the introduction, "This pamphlet, as the title page sets forth, is an extract from several missives from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, wherein is described the entire voyage from Rotterdam to Pennsylvania, carefully noted, together with the climate of this country, the actions of the inhabitants, and a setting forth of their industries, conditions, etc., also the names of such tame and wild animals, birds, fish, field and garden fruits, etc. of that place; at the same time many remarkable circumstances, heretofore unknown to us are truly described....Not the least interesting part of this missive is the note about the devout hermit. This hermit was none other than Conrad Mathai, and the notice here given, short though it is, throws further light upon this strange character, who lived for so many years on the banks of the romantic Wissahickon..."
