When someone has died in Maria Alm it is the Mesner (Simon's) job to ring the Todesglocke (death-bell) and inform everyone of the death. Not so long ago the death-bell wasn't rung, just the almost-dead-bell (Ziehglocke). I can't imagine that that was a terribly encouraging thing to hear as you were lying in your sick bed. 'Never send to know for whom the bell tolls...'.
