Lafayette G. Akey, Superintendent of the Fire and Police Telegraph Alarm System, prepares to toll the City Hall tower bell. He stands in the bell tower, looking at his watch, with his hand on the striking mechanism. Rochester is taking part in the funeral services for President Warren G. Harding, who died at the age of 57. The bell, therefore, will be tolled 57 times, at 10-second intervals. Notes Rochester Herald, August 11, 1923.
