I am no relation to this family, but I have this Bible in my possession (I plan to donate it to the history center on my next trip to Kentucky) I am happy to make the information accessible to those who may be interested.
The cover still bears the name Benjamin Head in gold.
From a professionally printed "announcement" or invitation stuck in the pages:
"The friends and acquaintances are invited to attend the funeral of Mrs. Eliza Head at the family residence this (Monday) afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment at Cave Hill Cemetary, Louisville. --Danville KY, Monday Dec. 30 1889."
