May, 2015: Lutheran Prayer Book, 1784

This Lutheran prayer book belonged to the Keffer family, who were among the first group of settlers to arrive in Vaughan Township in the early 1800s. The book itself is written in German and held within a leather bound, German-case binding. The cover and spine of the book are embossed and decoratively painted with floral designs in shades of green, pink and yellow, and outlined in black ink.
