Through the combined efforts of the Perry Township Trustee's Office and the Historic Preservation Committee of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), the Bell Cemetery located at 1700 W Epler Ave., has been restored to its current beautiful condition.  Work started in 2013 and finished in 2015.  It was truly through the concerted efforts of both groups that a project like this was completed.  As you can see our heritage will continue to be an important part of the Perry Township Community.
