Somehow, I ended up with the bible from the Campbell side of my family.
I received it from my mom Rose Marie Campbell Alexander, who got it from
her parents, Matthew F. and Helen Konvolinka Campbell.  Matthew's
parents, Nicholas and Margaret McInerney Campbell, brought it to the US
when they came here in 1883. 
Nicholas and Margaret made the passage from Ireland with their eldest
daughter, Mary (1882-?).  My grandfather, Matthew F. Campbell was born
May 5, 1884 in Hillsdale, Indiana County, PA.  By 1900 the family had
settled in Allegheny county, and had grown to include eight children.   

The bible is quite fragile.  Most of the pages are heavily discolored and
chipping apart at the edges.  The entries are in three and possibly four
different hands, ranging from formal copperplate to crude
cursive/italic.  Some of the entries are in sepia ink, others are in
pencil and others are in pencil overlaid with sepia or black ink.  The
entries aren't in chronological order- most likely, each entry was put
down on the least written on page.
