General Notes: Husband - Warren W. Bell
He was reared on the family farm where he still resided in adulthood, his education being obtained in the district schools of the neighborhood. Until he had attained his majority he remained at home, and then worked in the lumber woods during the winter season, and at carpentering in the summer. After his marriage he obtained forty acres, to which he later added eighty acres, of which he placed thirty under a high state of cultivation, and erected excellent buildings thereon, including a comfortable two-story frame residence. He held his timber, not allowing it to be cut for many years, finally selling the sawed lumber from eighty acres for $11,000, and still owning some fine timber. His land was underlaid with a good grade of coal and fire clay, and he also purchased the mineral rights from other lands which he was holding.
As a Democrat, Mr. Bell advocated the free coinage of silver, and took an active interest in public affairs, filling a number of local offices.
