Bells Return To New Lebanon Church After Twenty Years
In New Lebanon New York Easter Sunday marked the first peal from the rebuilt Congregational Church tower since a 1944 fire destroyed the previous steeple. John H Fiske and family funded the bell and its installation as a gesture toward religious unity. The 250 pound bell, created by the C Bell Company between 1882 and 1894, was recovered from a building and recast after the old bell melted in the blaze. The current church, without a spire, was completed and dedicated in May 1955.
