HISTORY OF THE BELL
The bell was purchased by First Baptist Church in Huntsville in 1891 for their new sanctuary. In 1954, the building that replaced the 1891 sanctuary burned and the bell was sold to another church. The new owners of the bell never erected it and for almost 50 years it lay partially buried in the church yard. Stuart Cox purchased the bell for our Chapel of the Nativity and donated it to us. |
