History of Maries Co, MO by Everett M. King, page 678: George W. Bell, the remaining descendant of Daniel, was born in Franklin County April 9, 1823, and lived there until he was nine years old, when he came to Lanes Prairie with his father. After four years there he moved to the Ramsey place at the Bell Ford. He lived with his parents until his majority, and shortly thereafter was married to Roena Prewett, who was born in Kentucky April 20, 1832. Soon after their marriage he entered the land at the forks of Dry Creek thereafter and still known as the Bell place. It is now owned by the estate of John W. Parker, and is the site of the Stickney store and post office. Here they spent the remainder of their lives and died, her death occurring November 9, 1903, and his on Feberuary 25, 1904. The five sons born of their marriage were: James Madison, C. C., John, William R., and Richard T. Bell. Page 679: The daughters of George W. and Roena Bell, six in number, are: Louisa J., Mary R., Josephine, Alegerene, Melvina, and Dora E. Bell.
