COUPLE DISPLAYS COLLECTION OF BELLS

[The Evening Tribune, 1984]

The highlight of the February meeting of the Welland Historical Society was Merritt and Hazel Sauer’s display of their bell collection.

The Sauer’s interest in bells began in the early 1950s when Merritt Sauer’s father gave him a set of sleigh bells.

Hazel Sauer gave a presentation with the theme “The Wonderful World of Bells.” She showed bells made of brass, crystal and china, and ranging in size from a large Atlas Steel Crane bell to a one-and-a-half Dutch bell made of china. The Sauers were thanked by Jane Davies.
