Historic Bell Pealed Ont Ne1Vs
of End OF HI Nati0n's Wars
Bv Catherine HambIev.

Members of Kate Waller Barrett
Chapter, OAR, of Alexandria, Va.
eagerly await the day when bronze
bell owned by. Mrs. Stanley Durkee
will again peal forth the news that
America is victorious.
| Exhibited a few days ago at a
chapter antique and hobby show
which also featured a collection OF
toy soldiers representing SO nations
the bell cast in England has been a
symbol of freedom and peace in
the owners family since before the
Revolution.
According to Mrs. Durkee, it has
been rung at the end of each war
in which the United States has
participated and from reports at
the end of King Williams and
Queen Anne's Wars.
1t was young Elijah Rice who
started the tradition when he rang
the bell furiously in Boston at the
close of the Revolution. He had
previously come from his New
Hampshire home to celebrate the
victory at Bunker Hill and at this
time had bought mirror on which
the bell now sits in the home of
Mrs. Henry T. Mcdonald, Mrs Dur
KEGS mother, in Harpers Ferry
w. Va.
Elijah's son, Isaac, followed in
his dads" footsteps by ringing the
bell at the close of the War of
1872. His jubilance was tWofold
for he had just completed a home
for his bride on land purchased
fby the exchange of two steers.
From his doorstep Isaac was the
first to ring out the tidings that
the Mexican War had been ended
AS postmaster at Henniker, N. H.
"Selectman" Isaac was ahead of
his townsfolk in hearing the news,
mail then being brought in saddle
bags by horses from Concord.
After the Civil War, the Rev. Isaac
d. Stewart, ISaac's n-law. wrote
in his diary: Praise the Lord The
war is over! I have rung the bell
and bought Frances (his only child
a piano, both at my wife's request"
When Frances married George F.
MoSher, the bell travelled to Michi-
gan. Her husband, president of
Hillsdale College, kept up the ira
dition. and at the conclusion of the
Spanish American War the bell
once more sounded its note of
patriotism. Perhaps the most i'm
pOrtant time the bell tolled it's viz
torious message was in 1918 at Bos-
ton when Frances, together with
her husband, waved the bell jubi-
lantly on high.
The miniature soldiers at the
exhibition were displayed by Selden
Baker, husband Of a member. They
included replicas of units of Bel
