Summary

About three dozen people gathered at the BITA Building on July 3, 2004, for the dedication of a town clock presented by Larry Malloy. St. James Township Supervisor Don Vyse accepted the gift, with a blessing planned by Reverend Joe Howell.

Evidence limits

The report documents the dedication but does not identify the clock’s maker, installation date, or later maintenance history.
