Some records show her name to be Margaret Louise Petty, but her tombstone shows Louise to be first (Louise M. Bell). So, thinking her husband, who died later and may have purchased her stone, may have known what was correct, I have gone with Louise Margaret. Lou was graduated from the North Loup, Nebraska high school Class of 1897, one of 16 graduates that year, one of whom was Lou's first cousin Alice Brown Gray. Alice and Lou were first cousins. They married Bell brothers. Alice married Ollie Bell. Lou married Adam "Bud" Bell.

Lou and Bud had three children: James Moore Bell, George Petty Bell, and Robert Wilson "Bob" Bell -- all born at Ord, Nebraska.
