Notes

The bell was on the Gouger farm (now Pony Estates) on a tall pole between the farm house and the garage. There was a long rope that ran down the pole, used to ring the bell. The Robinson family would use the bell to signal to who ever was out in the fields that it was time to come in for dinner.
