The bell's inscription "Buckeye Bell Foundry, 1893" "Vanduzen & Tift Cincinnati". The Buckeye Bell Foundry cast bells in in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1837 until 1950. The date on the bell indicates it was older than the earlier 1908 church.
And for reference, the bell can be rung with a loud clear sound echoing through town.
