This Meneely bell is on display on the church sign. The granite it sits on states "Original Church Bell."

From the Church Website: (visit link)

"Our church has lived through several great transitions. The original church building of 1889 was destroyed in the great hurricane of 1900. After suffering through a devastating flood the year before, Fort Bend County again experienced loss of lives, crops, and buildings as the hurricane moved inland. The original church was replaced in 1902 by a wooden structure where services were held until the late 20s."
