Charles Singleton came to Ohio to take charge of the Whitley Foundry in Springfield and later moved on to Dayton. On January 7, 1858, he began the operation of his own company here in Hillsboro, Ohio where the manufacture of bells later began in 1875. The early foundry was located in a frame building near the B & O Railroad Depot. A few years later, a second foundry was built on the corner of Main Street and North West Street.
