General Notes: Husband - David Bell

---

In his youth he learned carding in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and in Clearfield County erected the first machine for that purpose in that portion of the State. From his father's large estate he received a tract of land, on which he erected his woolen-mill and also a gristmill, which he operated in connection with farming. In 1865 he platted the town of Bellville upon his land, and erected thereon a hotel, store building, blacksmith and cabinet shops, besides a number of residences. There he continued to engage in mercantile pursuits throughout the remainder of his life, and also did an extensive lumber business.
As a pronounced Republican, he took quite an active interest in political affairs, but would never allow his name to be used for any office that would take him away from home. For a number of years, however, he served as justice of the peace, and during that time performed many marriage ceremonies.
