Plaque Text:
This bell was cast in 1856 by the Meneely Company of West Troy, New York. It was salvaged from a church in Pennsylvania, restored and purchased in 2004 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Methodist congregation of Hamilton, Texas.
Bell is displayed on a short brick pillar. Can not see if it has a clapper. It doesn't have a rope for turning the wheel on the side of bell yoke.
