The grave of the bibles
Six years ago this year, the community of Ness buried nearly five hundred old bibles in the St Peter's Cemetery in the Swainbost machair. The bibles came from the charity shop in Lionel, where it had been decided that the books were unfit for resale. Most of them were very old and falling apart. However, it was decided that the Holy Scriptures deserved a more respectful end than the shredder or the incinerator. Also, many of them were family bibles, that had been in use for generations, and were held to be treasured possessions. They were all placed in a box, and interred in the Old Cemetery. A proper burial service was conducted by the minister at Cross, on 30 June 2006. This memorial plaque was erected over the grave.

Extended information
The previous two posts on this blog result from further research into the WW1 casualties from this island, as displayed on Faces from the Lewis War Memorial. The sources include Ancestry.co.uk, uboat.net, naval-history.net and quite a few others. Information will show a summary of the service record and of any census entries. Where applicable, Hebridean Connections, will be used as well.
I am posting this on a blogsite which is currently hidden from public view; it is a copy of the Faces site, but is rather unnavigable at the moment. Any interesting finds will be posted on Pentland Road, while I work out a way to make it accessible to all.
