From other researchers:
- 2 different spouses listed, 1 as Claudius “Claude” Bell and 2 as Claude Bell. 1 son Olen attributed to the first, and 3 children attributed to the 2nd: private, William Lloyd, and Ina Mae. Can I assume they are one and the same? Only 1 marriage event listed.
- At one point in their lives Claude and Lilly lived in Handley, Texas, and one day when Lilly was shopping in a department store in Fort Worth she fell and broke her hip. She walked with a limp the rest of her life.
- Lily ran a boarding house in Denton and kept students from the college
- Sometime between 1920 and 1924 Claude and Lilly moved to 1520 West Sycamore in Denton. By 1930 they were living on Chestnut St, Denton.
- In the 1930’s and through the early 1940’s Claude farmed in the Lake Dallas area.
- By 1945 Claude and Lily were living back in Denton where they would live until Lilly died in 1955. In 1957 Claude moved to Decatur to live with his daughter Ina and family until his death in early 1958.
