Lancaster Bell Has Colorful History
A rusty schoolhouse relic, a Spanish bell with pirate era ties, finds new life in Lancaster C, chronicling voyages from Din Spain to San Domingo to American Revolution hero General Williamson who brought it to town in 1807. It rang at the courthouse and later drew firehouse alarms before fading and reappearing as public relic.

Bell history tied to Fairfield County tale sparks debate
In Fairfield County Ohio the high school owns a bell whose foreign relic status is questioned. The bell bears Fairfield County on its side and later recasting is noted. A time worn history volume hints at its possible voyage from St Domingo to avoid pirates. Women in England increasingly operate rabbit farms.
