Joy and Tragedy in Church Bell at Gavannah Mo
A historic church bell in Gavannah Missouri carries a tale of joy and disaster. Once the ship bell on the steamboat Galuda, it tolls for peace in seafaring memory and for a 1852 Mormon immigrant catastrophe when boilers exploded, killing many. The bell was found on a riverbank, bought for 1780, and installed in the church in 1895, remaining in use through wars and decades.
