Once the order was placed on February 3, 2003, it would take them fourteen weeks to customize our desires in color, illumination, hand type, face design, inscription and to set up the time zone. The work here involved digging a 24x36 inch hole and installing four stainless steel rods and templates in cement. This structure will support the clock. Running an electric wire through conduit to the clock was done. This provides for the clock illumination and hand movement. History
of the Clock A replica of the clock was made. We then carried it downtown to select the ideal site. It would be near the old bank building. Approval from the State Highway Department for installation was needed. On October 23, 2002, we received approval from them, allowing us to install the clock at the bank site we had chosen. June 2, 2003, the clock was delivered and erected. We cautiously watched the post holes glide onto the rods. A hook on the top of the clock allowed it to be hoisted nearly eight feet in the air to sit on the post base. It went like "clockwork". A sigh rallied through the crowd assembled as the final bolt was fastened. Today, a bronze
plaque is placed at the front of the clock. The clock was given to the
Town and our Historical Society dedicated it to the people of Clay
Township. Greens Fork Home | History | Clay Township Officials | Business | Churches | Museum | Organizations | Post Clock | School | 1936 Basketball | 1912 Fire | Miss Flossy Neff | Leon "Shorty" Allison
