General Notes: Husband - Arthur Bell

---

Bell township in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, was named in his honor.

He married and came to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, about 1790, making the third permanent settlement. He visited the region as a trapper and hunter from Lycoming County, coming up the river in a canoe, and in the following spring he brought his family, making a location on the Susquehanna river near the later site of Lumber City. Game was very plentiful, and was the principal source of food supply for the family, however they had to go to Williamsport by canoe or over the mountains on foot to Bellefonte for breadstuffs. For blacksmithing, he often went as far down the river as Lock Haven. After raising a little corn, he beat it into meal with some rude implements of his own construction. He improved what was later known as the Farwell [Farweather?] farm, aided in the organization of the county in 1804, and for many years served as justice of the peace, performing all marriage ceremonies in that early day.
He was reared in the faith of the Presbyterian Church, to which he always adhered.
