This bell and dated corner stone are preserved here, outside the current school. They were from the old school, erected in 1901, that was destroyed by the "Great Fire" on March, 9, 1967.
The bell is marked:-
The C.S. Bell Co. 36 Hillsboro, O.
This means, according to my research, that this is a 36 inch diameter bell, made by the Charles Singleton Bell Corporation, from Hillsboro, Ohio. (
