The Bell County March
The Bell County March was written by Baylor Female College music professor Julien Paul Blitz (Belgian) in 1907.  Blitz was a music professor from 1906-08.  The piano solo was dedicated to Bell County Sheriff D. C. Burkes.  The Bell County March is a Collection of the Bell County Museum.  It was a gift of Dewitt J. Lorenz, Noema Dahlke, and Catherine Jean Duncan, grandchildren of D. C. Burkes in 1997.   To play the original 41/2 minute version of the Bell County March click here.  (Note:  this file may take several minutes to load due to the size - 1.3 MB.  It may play intermittently until fully down-loaded.)
