The Episcopal Church of the Ascension

After the death of Sidney Case McCammon in March 1964 the Arthur Harvey family started the carillon campaign by funding 24 bells in his memory.   Eight additional bells were given by Ruth and Arthur Harvey, Marian and James Martin, Marabelle and John Robertson, Judith and John Truitt, Patricia and John Watson and contributors to the S. C. McCammon Memorial Fund. 

The Sidney Case McCammon Memorial Carillon was officially dedicated on December 24, 1964.
