BELLFLOWER
Est. 1893
The flower heads depicted on this sign are the pink flowers that bloom profusely on this prairie land.
"A village in northern Bear Creek Township. Laid out by John W. Schowengerdt, owner of the site, and named by him for the small pink flowers (bell flowers), which grew there profusely. Eaton erroneously states it was named for a variety of apple." ~ Eaton, p. 332, Postal Guide, 1888 ff.; Mrs. Lizzie Mabry, George Schowengerdt
