I too, wonder about where the bell came from. It is interesting to note that in the records of nearby Hopewell Baptist Church the following notations are in the old minute books:<BR/><BR/>August 1880: A bell was received from Walley Keyes. Sexton C.A. Gillentine is to ring it at the proper time.<BR/><BR/>June 1887: The bell was removed to the graveyard.<BR/><BR/>The above entries makes me wonder if this refers to the bell that is located at Keyes Graveyard. The dates of the entries seem to agree with the manufacturing years of the company and today I don't think there is a bell at the small Hopewell Baptist Church Cemetery. It makes me wonder if "the cemetery" in the above notation is referring to Keyes.Bob Frankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933010329922610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098246906338279953.post-25033713577356294832009-01-07T20:18:00.000-06:002009-01-07T20:18:00.000-06:00I did some research on the manufacturer of the bel...I did some research on the manufacturer of the bell and sent it in to you through the Society website. I found it interesting. I have heard rumors that the bell is from an old school yard. I was wondering what you know of it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
