Bell 77 Years Old.

On top of the Carroll county court house stands a bell of ancient mold. For years it has clanged notice of the proceedings within the walls of the court house. It was purchased in 1838 by Samuel Gresham, at that time sheriff of the county. It was molded in Cincinnati and brought to Delphi by boat. During the trip the boat , was sunk in the Wabash river and with difficulty the bell was raised and brought to Delphi, where it has since rested.
