*Links:

NOTE:  Documentation for the location of St.Simeon's Lutheran Church is very clear.  But overhead photography now shows no tower or other place for bells on the present building.  It is not yet known whether the structure might have been rebuilt some time in the 20th century.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Meneely (Watervliet) bellfoundry.
