Here is a picture of a bell located at the old First Mennonite Church in Geary, Oklahoma. The bell is mounted on a brick structure in front of the church. The Mennonite community has died out there in Geary and the old church building now belongs to the city of Geary. There is a bronze plaque on the base of the bell stating that the bell was installed in the church in 1898. It is a large bell. I would estimate the diameter at the mouth of the bell to be close to 3 feet. There is an antique store in the building now.

This old bell is located on the NE corner of the main barracks area of Ft Reno, OK. The bell has Alarm Bell & Co. cast inside the bell, plus C. S. Bell Co., Hillsboro, O (Ohio). The number inside the cracked bell is 6608M. The building in the background is one of several officer’s barracks used in 1891. Fort Reno is presently a USDA Experiment Station. Unless something is done soon, Fort Reno’s historic buildings will be gone as they are in a bad state of non-repair. As this happens, the United States and Oklahoma lose an important part of both’s history as the buildings are removed.—–>

03/12/07 “We have our original 1906 Bell and we ring it on Sunday morning here in rural Norman, Oklahoma. The History: This church building was built in 1906 by land run settlers. This church building caught fire in April of 1962. And this is the neatest story: The lighting hit the bell town on Sunday Morning during Sunday School. The members called the fire department then proceeded to carry out of the church everything they could carry, including song books, chancel rail, pews, etc. All of which are in the new church today.
The church was so far out in the country and due to flooding and weather (it was tornado season after all) the Norman Fire Department could not get there and when they did there was no fire hydrant, Little River was a 1/2 mile a way. To make a long story short, the church burnt down while the congregation watched. Then they carried everything they could to their homes for storage. Soon they had the lot cleared and were in the process of planning a new church. This is the concrete block structure you see in the picture.
The church bell in the tower was salvaged and stored. When the new building was dedicated the bell was mounted on its current stand. We ring it every Sunday Morning. If you look close at the top you can see where it was welded back together, as it fell nearly two stories in the fire. Grace and peace.” -Debra Marlett Campbell, Pastor

Gage, Oklahoma Church of Christ Bell Located north of RR tracks and west of the down own area — Children as well as adults are intrigued by the old cast iron bell on display in front of the Gage Church of Christ building. The church building was built in 1902 with a belfry in it. The old bell hung in the bell tower until about 1960, when members of the church had it torn down. The bell is very heavy. The belfry had deteriorated, due to old age and church members were afraid it was becoming dangerous. Children were always wanting to ring the bell, which was done by pulling on a long heavy rope. “Church bells have been used over the years for many things. Early bells summoned soldiers to arms as well as Christians to church. There are many old customs connected with the use of the church bells, At one time in history, the bell was rung for the dying and later it was rung after a death. Bells were used as time pieces. Not everyone had a watch or clock, as we do today, so one hour before church services, they rang the bell to remind people it was time to get ready for church. There are people in the Gage congregation today, who remember when the bell rang for that purpose. Church bells are becoming a thing of the past, but will always be a part of our history. Visitors in Gage often stop to examine the old bell, which was re-mounted on a cement slab not long ago”.

03/14/06 “I accidentally stumbled onto your web site. I find it interesting because my dad has a large bell in his back yard. My parents would ring it when it was time to come home. You could hear it all over Stigler, Oklahoma. My granddad took the bell from an old Indian Church out in Western Oklahoma near Lawton. I think the Church was being torn down. In addition to the bell in my parent’s back yard in Stigler, Oklahoma, there is a bell in the tower of the United Methodist Church in Stigler (It is not visible). They would let the kids ring the Church bell on Sundays, because if you were small enough you could “ride” the bell rope up and down as it rang. To my knowledge it is still being rung.

08/18/22 I am so excited for this!! My family were the founders of Milburn, Ok before statehood. My grandfather was there when the cornerstone was put in for the first school. That brick building burned in the 1940’s. My grandfather managed to save the original bell. In the 1970’s, my father was given the bell and we painted it red and blue for the bi- centennial in 1976. We proudly rang the bell on July 4, 1976 in Stillwater. The bell has stayed with me since 2000 when my dad passed. Today, my daughter and I are returning the bell to Milburn! On Wednesday at 11 am, we will take it to to the school to be back “ home”. -Lynn Milburn Lansford

The McMillan School Bell has been placed on Railroad Ties out in front of the old School, which is now used as a Community Center & or maybe a Church also. At one time the Bell was laying in a pasture behind Arville Saxton’s house. I had visited with him about putting the Bell up at the Community Center. He agreed that was where it needed to be, but he passed away before he got it done. Later I talked to his son, J.A. Saxton, about putting it there. He said he would take care of it & he did, which I am very grateful. My Daddy & Mother both attended school there thro’ughthe 8th grade. Thanks for what you do. I enjoy your This & That Newsletter so very much.” -Tawana (Gardner) Fleming, Byers, Texas

I found a huge beautiful bell at Falls Creek in the Arbuckle Mountains. It was sitting on a trailer, waiting to be mounted somewhere.
“Butch, Here’s the old Falls Creek bell that has been on the grounds for many years. Currently, it sits out in front of the new Tabernacle. I doubt this will be its permanent location as there is still much construction to do on the new Plaza and other buildings. One side says “Steel Alloy Church Bell” and the other says “The C.S. Bell Co. Hillsboro O.” I’ve not heard it ring in many years, but it can be heard all over the camp. I got to ring it several times myself as a teenager (but had to run from camp security after I did it!!.”

This nice bell is sitting right in front of City Hall in Sulphur, Oklahoma. You know, right across the street from where the stinky water gushes up out of the ground!
This bell is located in front of an antique shop on Main Street in Davis, Oklahoma.

8/14/24 Butch, you may already have a picture of this bell but in case you do not here it is. This is the bell from the original bell tower steeple at Wickline United Methodist Church, 417 Mid-America Blvd, Midwest City, OK.

1/28/19 Hey good morning Butch, We recently finished a big renovation of the 42 bell carillon at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church in Oklahoma City. We installed that carillon originally in 1956, my Grandfather actually installed it. In 2017 we took everything out of the tower and replaced everything except the bells themselves. The largest bell is a D#1 and weighs about 3,600 Lbs. When we reinstalled the bells we made 3 of the swinging bells and the rest are stationary that are played by a manual keyboard.

Here’s the Council Grove Bell. It is located at Council Road and Melrose Lane in Oklahoma City. The text on the plaque below the bell is as follows….. “This bell, long a symbol of gatherings is dedicated to preserve the memories and the history of the Council Grove community. It’s presented in loving memory of William A. “Scooter” Wilson by his classmates, friends and family. This historical old school bell dates back to the late 1890s. When it was first used in the Council Grove District School, located on the southeast corner of Melrose Lane and Council road. This schoolhouse also served as the Union church. When a new school was built in this location in 1938, the bell was moved to the new school and again used. The bell remained at that school until May, 1970 when it was brought to the present Council Grove school by the “Scooter” Wilson memorial fund. This bell is also dedicated to its own precious memories of Council Grove School children for over 70 years.

Built in 1911 by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works Company. It has a Fire bell attached to it. I thought you may want to add it to you list of bells.

There is a little town of under 2,000 people just on the east side of McAlester, Oklahoma (Pittsburg County). Even though the town is small, its well-known, known for its Italian Food! Everyone there knows the place to eat is Isle of Capri and Pete’s Place for authentic Italian food. But there is something else in Krebs, a bell, in St Joseph’s Catholic Church. The church is located at 290 NW Church Street, and is the oldest Catholic church in Oklahoma. It was re-built by Italian immigrants in 1903 after the first church was destroyed by fire! Here’s a close-up pic of the bell!
And there is a remarkable story behind this bell. On Wednesday, August 14, 2002 I received a phone call from Ames, Iowa. It was from a lady name Sybil Stone. This story really started in 1966 when Sybil Stone sent a letter to a Tulsa newspaper seeking information and help in finding a bell her great grandfather, John Rex of St Louis, gave to a church mission in Oklahoma in honor of his daughter, Sybil Rex. He presented the bell to a mission somewhere in Oklahoma but exactly where they did not know. All they remembered was being told it was at the end of a railroad line at a church mission. The family in Ames, Iowa never did find where the bell was located after searching all these years. But in August 2002 that changed!
A priest from McAlester, Oklahoma was doing some research in Tulsa and happened across that 1966 letter from Sybil Stone of Iowa. He contacted a friend who had internet access to do a search, and sure enough, Sybil Stone still lived in Ames, Iowa. The priest contacted Sybil Stone and gave her some much sought for information concerning the bell. Here is the first of two emails I received this week from Sybil Stone of Ames, Iowa:
“My great grandfather John E. Rex was born in Philadelphia 1820 died in St. Louis Jan 10, 1888 (my cousin says he died of pneumonia after attending the funeral of a friend). My grandmother Sybil Mary Rex was born in St Louis Mar 21, 1859. Married in St Louis Apr 3, 1895. Died in St Louis Nov 9, 1946. So…. I am assuming that John Rex gave the bell to Father Robot before 1887, as Fr. Robot died in 1887. All I knew was that the bell had the name Sybil on it. I had no idea of any other inscription until Fr. King called me from McAlester. I have a small note, possibly in my Aunt’s handwriting (she is another Sybil) that says:
Vinita – Indian Territory. First bell rung on a Catholic Church was rung in Vinita and had the name Sybil Rex inscribed on it. It was given by John Rex of St. Louis to Fr. Robot. ——End of Railroad line.
That is exactly what the note says. So, the bell had to have been given to Fr. Robot before 1887 when he died.” – Sybil Stone
And here is the letter Sybil Stone received from Fr King of Grove, Oklahoma on Saturday, August 17, 2002:
“The original bell still hangs in the church tower, salvaged from the fire which razed the first building, the bell is dated 1886, the year the original church was constructed. In the tradition of the times, the bell was given a name and an inscription. It reads:
“”I am Sybil. I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Rt. Rev. Abbot D. Isidore Robot, Prefect apostolic of the Indian Territory.””Father Robot died in 1887 and my great grandfather died in Jan of 1888.”

Since 1895 the St. Benedict Catholic Church has been a landmark in the town of Shawnee, Oklahoma. Inside its tall steeple is a beautiful 45 inch bell which toll forth its sound from 1911 to 1986. In 1986 the bell was silenced in lieu of an electronic sound speaker system. But in 2008 the original bell was re-activated, and thanks to the work of Bill Johnson and others, its sound once again now radiates out over the town of Shawnee. It tolls the musical note “F4”

01/16/11 The attached “Bell History” was written in 2004 when we were preparing to build a belfry at First United Methodist Church in Claremore, OK. Sara Carpenter passed away a couple weeks ago and I added a yellow fill to one sentence which contained her name. When writing the attached, I got information from several sources, one being Recollections from early Rogers County Residents. Sara was involved in collecting them when she headed up the Rogers County Historical Society. The Directory cover page has an aerial photo showing people surrounding the church, holding hands. (Just illustrates a part of the story.) I don’t recall where I got the photo for the Kinta, OK 1st School. . Do you have any information or know where I might find any concerning the source of the bell? I recall talking to someone in the area (I think Stillwell) but never found anyone who could give me much enlightenment. Thanks much. -Jack Weyler Information 1 Information 2

There is a bell at the Durham School that was closed in 1957. The bell is still hanging on the Longhorn Field House (GYM). The individual who demolished the actual school donated the bell back to the community rather than trash it. This is the actual bell that was used to start school every morning. The gym was built by the WPA in the late 1930’s. The gym is now more of a community building, it is host to Chuckwagon Supper & Longhorn Opry in May, in the fall it hosts the Oklahoma Farmers Union County dinner, in December we have the Christmas Program, this Christmas will be the 84th Christmas Tree & Traditional Christmas Program. It is also host to a number of senior citizens dinners, quilting clubs, and square dances. It also hosts the annual school alumni for Durham the Saturday of Memorial Weekend.

When you ring the bell the fish come snapping at the water. I might have a pic of that too. They have gotten so spoiled that all we have to do is walk for the pond and they start flipping the water for food. It’s quite a site.”
