Question: What happened to old courthouse bell?

JIM poses Great Question of the Ages:

In Mike Watson's History of Adair County (v 1 p 51), he notes that when plans were laid in to build a new courthouse in the 1880s, "C.J. and Uriah L. Taylor purchased the old courthouse for the sum of $180. This did not include the bell, chairs, stoves, tables, or the stone under the columns."

I have to wonder if the old bell were installed in the new courthouse upon completion of that structure.

Another question for The Great Minds of Adair County, I suppose.
