Ferree Reunion Website

One of the activities during our Reunion 2007 was a tour in the Paradise, PA area of old Ferree homesteads and historical sites. Included was a stop at the Lancaster County Historical Society to view the Lefevre Bible. Enroute to the Historical Society, our guide mentioned a recipe for cough syrup that could be found in the Bible. Below is a photo of that recipe in the Bible.
