*Links:

A news article describes the damage to the building from a tornado on 16 April 1998; the chime not only survived but heartened storm victims.

Another news article gives a different viewpoint on the damage; the tower is visible in a photo at the bottom of the page.

Yet another news story and photo, this time describing the restored church.

Where this work lies in the sequence of output of the Vanduzen bellfoundry.

Ranking among all North American chimes by size (number of bells).
