100 Year Old Bell to Ring Again at Oakville Church
Oakville residents will hear the Methodist church bell on Sunday for the first time in years. The 100-year-old bell, removed during a 1962 remodel, is restored and dedicated to Lt. David L. Siverly, Oakville’s Vietnam casualty. The bell tower and bulletin board stand east of the north door, with Rev. Sam E. Bowser conducting services. The W.S.C.S. funded the brick planter, with the rest from a church offering.
