General Notes: Husband - W. S. Bell

---

At the age of nine years was left an orphan and thrown upon his own resources. He received his early education at the common schools, and worked on a farm until he was fifteen years of age; later was a student at the Linnaean Academy, and at sixteen years learned telegraphy, which he followed two years. He was then employed as clerk in a drugstore, which business he learned and followed for eleven years. In 1878, on account of ill health, he gave up the drug business and began as a photographer, his studio being located at 77 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh.
He was past master in the Masonic fraternity. He served as school director; was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was a republican.

There are problems with the dates given for this family; see the note for his brother John.
