Located in the SE corner lot of the Mt. Laki Community Presbyterian Church is a sign that contains a bell that hangs underneath. As with many other bells I've come across at churches in my travels, there's a good possibility that this bell once graced the bell tower of a church that was located here before it was replaced by a newer church. This church building has a dated cornerstone in front of the building of 1952.
The bell was made by The O.S. Bell Co. in Hillsboro, OH, a company founded by Charles Singleton Bell. The history of Bell and the company he founded can be read about in more detail here. Based off the website info and bell stamping, this bell was made after 1894.
