BTTT !
I wish I had advice for you.
Let us know the outcome.
Good luck to you. The only way to let out the word is to spread it to as many people as possible. Wish I could help you.
Oh, you might try calling the library in Dubuque and letting them know of your find - also the local newspapers. They might publish this story.... it’s so old and from WWI that they might find it interesting (esp. small local papers). That might give you some traction.

Some local might remember the family.
I thought of another idea - Craig’s List. Can’t hurt.
If he cannot find the family then my I suggest he donate it to the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, Mo.? As the only museum in the country dedicated to the First World War it would make a nice addition to their collection.
I can’t give you any better advice than what you already have. It does remind me of when everyone in my school, was given New Testaments by the Gideons. No one complained and I don’t recall anyone refusing. Although my parents gave me a Bible when I was 9, I still was happy to get one.
I still have it.
You certainly aren’t very chatty. ;-) Did you get any ideas or help from this thread? Can you let us know what happens with the Bible?
I asked on Twitter.
Don't know if this can lead you anywhere...
Good Luck!
Not sure how this works but please contact me about the JS Bach Bible. I am trying to get hold of my dad outside Detroit, we are Bach’s. Thanks.
Was wondering if it was a Catholic Bible?
