A new bell at a pitch of F sharp! One could listen and focus and memorize that pitch over time. How fortunate are those citizens still able hear authentic bells Something is lost upon hearing the electronic so-called “chimes” sounding forth these days from various places. No resonance or charm within their sound.

Are the lots referred to here and elsewhere in the diary, cemetery lots?

In the context it was written I am fairly sure that they were cemetery lots. James did assist with burials. This would be at the Center Cemetery just a quick walk from his home next to the Congregational Church.
