This bell tower must have been magnificent in its day. With the large round open "windows" for the sound to fly with the winds.
Boarded up now, and not able to see inside so am making an educated guess as to number of bells.

German Methodist Episcopal Church in 1866 formed in Bland.

According to the Corporation sites, the church was incorporated as a 501 (C) in 1981 and was dissolved in 1999.

Cornerstone on the bell tower reads:

SALEM'S
M. E. CHURCH
1915.
