There are two bells located in front of the R.C. Baker Museum, the other bell has been waymarked. This bell sits on top of a stand that is engraved and noting that it was from the Oil King School from 1909. The school obviously no longer exists and this bell is a reminder of the school's history.
What's interesting to note is that there was a newer Oil King School erected in 1919 as noted by a link to a website containing a historical picture of the school here. This school originally sat at the corner of Hwy 33 (Polk Street) and 198 (Elm Avenue).
