 The plaque was placed in memory of James Bennett (1997–2012).James was a young man who endured a number of medical hardships and was lost too soon “but will never be forgotten.”

The bell was cast in 1888 by the Buckeye Bell Foundry, Van Payne & Taft, Cincinnati.The bell was originally used in the first school (built in 1887) and then later used to call students at the “new” Richfield School built in 1914 and then again at the new Richfield Centralized school built in 1917.
