The Story of the Cross on Top

Excerpt from Emmanuel's History book from 2017..."A bell in the tower carries the inscription "Jennie M. Lockwood, 1867". Information garnered in 1963 tells us that this bell was given in honor of Jane Morrison Lockwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lock­wood, who was seven or eight years old at the time, Emmanuel was built. She was nicknamed Jeanie, and the spelling on the bell is just an error on the part of the Foundry. The metal cross on top of the church was also to be just her height at that time."  During the renovation, we hope to clean the cross on top.  Until we can access the cross we are not sure how it is attached.  So, with care, we will investigate, remove and clean, if possible.
