Frances "Fannie" Benena Easley

Notes:

Her tombstone is inscribed, "In remembrance of J. H. Bell's Wife-Married to J. H. Bell 9 July 1874, She died as she lived trusting in God."

Frances married John Henry Bell on 9 Jul 1874 in Sabine County, Texas. John (son of John Richard Bell and Julia Ann "Annie" "JulyAnn" Smith) was born on 5 Mar 1855 in Texas; died on 15 Jul 1921 in Texas; was buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He was said to have married Laura DICKERSON ca 1900. In her annotated transcription of the Brookeland Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary has erroneously shown him as a son of John R. Bell and July Ann Bradshaw (sic). He is actually a son of John Henry Bell and Fannie Easley, therefore a grandson of John R. and Julia Bell.
