General Notes: Husband - John Davis Bell

---

He was ten years of age when brought by his parents to their new home in Farmington town­ship, Clarion County, PA, where he grew to man­hood. He attended the district schools of the neighborhood, and assisted his father in the ardu­ous task of clearing and improving the farm. Upon the homestead he continued to reside until 1862, when he went to Oil City, Venango County, and engaged in the oil business for about ten years, but at the end of that time returned to his farm in Clarion county. In 1892 he erected an elegant two-story frame residence, which was sup­plied with all modern improvements, so that he had one of the most desirable country homes in the locality.
