Presentation inscription from A.G. Lewis to C.A. Lewis on October 22, 1829. Pages between the Old and New Testaments contain a record of family births, deaths, and marriages. Also included is a poem commemorating the death of John Lum Lewis, infant son of Albert and Catherine Lewis. At the conclusion of the New Testament is an inserted page containing birth and death records for the children of Eliza Ivory, a Lewis family slave. Printed poems, sketches, advertisements, and other ephemera were inserted throughout the Bible. These have been removed and placed in an envelope laid in the Bible.
