Clock Tower Bell was once School Bell

Who knew that the bell now in the Henry County Courthouse clock tower was “used equipment” when it was installed in 1896. It was once the school bell in the belfry of the Odd Fellows Female Institute (a school for girls at the corner of McNeil and Market St. which opened in 1854 ) Source – HCHS History Dept. brochure.
