My grandfather John Kangas was agent of the clock at one time, we are told. I loved hearing the chimes as a child, out playing in the Town woods and fields.

I noticed that James Roger of Albany was a donor to the clock fund. Is that the same person as the New Ipswich James Roger?

The bell in that clock tower was made by the Meneely Bell Company of Troy, NY. Meneely bells are found in churches around the globe. There's one in Prague that weighs more than 2500 pounds.

Does the clock still run? I don't remember ever hearing chimes in 40 years living in New Ipswich.

Since when? Did they wait until we left?
