Those who remembered him described him as a bit tall, a nice person with a quiet manner of speaking. He had a brother who was called Step who sometimes came to visit from Arkansas. He and Mollie Levingston Bell had 13 children. They also raised two grandchildren, Union and John Almer "Jelly". He had an A Model and a T Model car and was one of the first people in the area to own a car. He passed away in 1935 at about 83 years of age.
