On October 11, 1849, the cornerstone for the first Presbyterian Church was laid. Then on Sunday, December 10, 1850, the church building was depicted minus a steeple.
After much discussion a spike was purchased and placed on the church raising to the height of 82 feet.
Now Mr. Henry F. West thought the steeple should house a bell, but knowing the congregation could not afford one he decided to donate one on his own.
