My Notes:
1. Parents were Robert Samuel Bell b. 1871, Falls Co Tx and Laura Helen Parten b. 1876 near Marlin, Falls Co, Tx

2. These two obits have differing dates, the one thing they do agree on is the Date of death. Given that, then Monday would have been the 24th of March as stated in the second, not the 23rd, stated in the first.

3. Bell-Garrett Cemetery is also called Garrett Cemetery. The sign now says Garrett Cemetery, but I was told that when the sign was replaced, they didn't put the "Bell" on it. No one seems to know when this happened, no one that I have talked to anyway.

4. The second obit states he was born in Robertson Co., my research, says Falls Co, as they didn't move to Robertson Co until sometime between 1910 and 1920
