It cracked the first time it rang, and the second time it was cracked also and it rendered it unrigable. No name of an individual was given for the tragic event in the crack that was caused by the ringing of the Liberty Bell.

No name of an individual was given for the tragic event in the crack that was caused by the ringing of the Liberty Bell.

The Liberty Bell was first cast in England. It broke in ringing after its arrival and was recast in Philadelphia from the same metal, with the same inscription, "Proclaim Liberty throughout all of the land and unto all inhabitants thereof," which is from the Bible (Lev. 25:10).

Pennsylvania had purchased the Liberty Bell in 1752, and paid about $300 for it.

The Liberty Bell rang at each, successive anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, until 1835.

The bell broke on July 8 that year, while being rung during the funeral of John Marshall, chief justice of the United States.

The bell became known as the Liberty bell about 1839, when abolitionists began to refer to it that way. Previously, the bell had been called the Old State House Bell.

It wasn't a funeral, but the celebration of Washington's Birthday in 1846.
