"At sundown the church bell toiled, and it was soon filled with humble worshippers.
The chapel is quite an impressing building, the walls covered with pictures of saints and crucifixion.
The Indians are very devout and tell their beads with great patience.
There were many aged people led to and from the church, some totally blind and others walking on hands and feet, so bowed with age."
Quote from the travels of E.S. Glover in 1875.
The bell was donated to the former M.O.N.A.C. (Museum of Native American Cultures), in Spokane, Washington, by Fr. Walter Schoenberg, S.J.
The Bells' original location was described as coming from a mission in the Northwest.
Could it have been the Old Mission?
