Clarke Family - Thomas G. Clarke - School Bell

 I believe that this is the hand bell that Thomas G. Clarke used to let students know that school was in Session.

It is mentioned in the Urmston Family letter written in 1936 from Mrs. LeRoy Urmston who lived in Anderson Indiana.

I believe that Minnie Ann Clark Urmston wrote this letter. She married Leroy Urmston [validated by the letter] 26 March 1885 in Madison County Indiana.

I found her on the 1880 Indiana census in Madison County, city of Lafayette, ED 23.

On that document, she is living in the household of her father, Alfred Clark. Her mother is listed as Savina.

In the 1860 census for Madison County Indiana, Lafeyette Township, I found an Alfred living in the household of Thomas G. Clark.

I believe that the Alfred Clark living in the Thomas G. Clark household is the same person that Minnie names in the letter written in 1936.
