  Milt and Marilyn Ulfers of Allison received a wonderful surprise gift from the progeny of Jacob Yost, an 1857 settler in Ripley Township of Butler County. The surprise was the 129-year-old bell that was originally on their farm.
  This original farm bell that was installed by Jacob Yost’s son, C.K. Yost, and his wife, Aurila Kincaid Yost, is now back where it belongs, on their farm. ...
  It was manufactured in 1885 in Hillsboro, Ohio, by the CS Bell Company.
