In 1951, while attempting to obtain a her old age pension, Bernice [Norton] Beaty obtained the services of Frederick Bertram Schutch, a notary public in Huntsville, Ontario to help her prove her birthdate, as she was born prior to civil registration in the Province of P.E.I., and she could not locate a record of birth in her church. He then produced a transcript of this Bible, which this extract came from, and obtained a notarized extract of her birthdate which eventually was accepted as proof of her birth by the Registrar General. It is believed the original bible may have stayed in the hands of Mr. Schutch, or may have been lost in a fire in Bernice's garage which occurred in the late 60's, where she had stored family records. Countless documents and photos were lost at that time. Thankfully, this transcription survived.
