The bell is back home again after 106 yrs of being up the road at the school. Appreciate everyone who assisted with getting it back home. Our annual meeting of the association is coming up in July. Will update with details for date/time/location set.

Mr Jarvis (Pewitt board president) and I spoke today (March 20th) and he stated that he had agreed in an earlier email that Marietta could have the bell back once 3 separate entities agreed as to who gets the bell. I had talked with MVFD Chief and also the Pastor of the Oak Ridge Baptist Church. It was agreed the best place for the bell would be at the cemetery.

Mr Jarvis stated in the phone call that the bell would be returned to Marietta after the school board meets in April.

As chairman of the Oak Ridge Cemetery Association, I am glad this has been settled.

Thanks everyone for signing the petition and sharing it.
