These two bells, the one on the left from the Centerpoint schoolhouse and the one on the right from the Boggy Depot schoolhouse, are on public display outside of the Confederate Memorial Museum on the US 69 a few miles north of Atoka OK.
When the Missouri-Kansas-and Texas (the MKT or "Katy") Railroad came through Atoka, the communities of Boggy Depot and Centerpoint declined, as most of their residents and businesses moved to Atoka.
