There was a newspaper clipping glued to the back of the bible, this is what was printed on it:N.B. March 23, 1900,GIRVAN - on March 14 and 15 at 52 Troy St. Boston, Mass., Edna L and Bertha M. beloved children of Alexander and Mary Girvan, aged 2 yrs, 6 months and 7 days, funeral from their parents residence 52 Troy St, Boston, Mass. The home of Mr & Mrs. Alex Girvan, formerly of this place, but who now resides in Boston, was visited by death last week, which carried off 2 of their children. On the 14th, Edna aged 2 yrs and 6 months died from pneumonia and on the following day Bertha, aged 14 yrs and 3 months died from hasty consumption. The parents have the sympathy of many friends in their sad and sudden bereavement.That was all that we could find in the bible. Not much, but every little bit of information helps.Take care,Gina
