Q. ] have been reading about Paul
Revere bells. Was the hero OF Lex
ington and Concord bell-maker?
A. Paul Revere operated a foundry
more than hundred years ago. and
he made few bells. Revere had sever
nj useful occupations during his life
time. but contrary to reports he was
neither a Jockey" or a lantern
maker" His history shows that he
was IN engraver OF unusual ability;
a goldsmith OF prominence: and
powder manufacturer who rendered
great help TO the fighting Colonists
There are half dozen wonderful old
bells wrought in his foundry, and one
OF these ,olled in the new tower OF
All Souls Church in Washington dur
the funeral OF the late President Will
son.
