Where did the Groveville Bell go?

I had heard the stories of the ringing of the bell, one story, the story in the article was told to me by Wilbur Reynolds, on Halloween they would climb to the belfry, tie a light line or fishing line to the bell, run it across the street to my Grandmother Rollings House, where there was a large pine tree wrapped in wisteria, making it easy to climb. from up in the tree and hidden, they would ring the bell, when Constable Jack Coffey would come to see who was on the school roof they would stop, seeing no one there he would walk away, they would give him a chance to get down Church Street and they would ring it again.

.

When the fire house was still in Groveville, I heard stories as to where the bell went. Since I started doing this research I heard stories about the bell, both the same, as to where it went.

.

One is that the bell was removed to make repairs on the belfry, one prominent local person volunteered to store the bell. Once the belfry was repaired the bell was not replaced in the belfry and that the bell may still be in the hands of a person in Groveville. I don't know if this person was a School Board Member or not, guess I should check that out.

Too bad the bell is not there, as kids we would have loved to pull this prank.
