This bible belonged to Herbert Hellowell, an English boy who drowned in Hastings Pond on July 4, 1885, while trying to rescue a companion, Herbert Taylor. According to the boy's mother, the bible was his favorite possession, as she had given it to him before he left for America. On his headstone in Warwick's cemetery we read "He who had lost his life for my sake shall find it."
