Uncle Johnson: The Pilgrim of Six Score Years (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781979234771)

IT is still the custom in some towns of the West, as well as in New England, to announce the death of individuals by measured strokes of the bell, each stroke marking a year of the life of the dead. This practice, though originating in superstition, the ringing of the bell being held as efficacious for the driving away of evil spirits, in its continuance is not without profit.
