1. History Of The Bell Marker

Inscription. Faith Alliance Church, formerly Christ Church located at 212 S. Walnut Street, New Bremen, Oh.
Purchased the 40 inch church bell from the American Bell and Foundry Co., Northville, Mi. circa 1945.

The bell & new bell tower were dedicated Jan. 26, 1947 under Pastor Carl Brand.
The bell & bell tower were removed in the mid 1990's due to structural difficulties. The bell was refurbished and placed on the grounds of the new church building at 6670 Knoxville Ave. New Bremen.

In 2021 the bell was donated to the New Bremen Historical Association and in 2022 it was mounted on the platform where it now resides.
