General Notes: Husband - John A. Bell

---

He was but eight years of age when his father died, and he was thrown upon his own resources. He had but poor opportunities of receiving more than a common-school education, but became successful in business. He was an elder in the U. P. Church; politically he was a republican.

Something seems amiss with the dates given by the source concerning him. His date of birth is given as 1844, he thus would have been eight years old in 1852. But the source gives his father's date of death as 1859.
