FRANCIS T. BELL — The son of a prominent pioneer family of Butte County, Francis T. Bell is making good in his home county, and has shown the enterprising and liberal tendencies for which his father was noted. Born on the Humboldt Road, at the Fourteen Mile House, above Chico, he is a son of Hugh and Eleanor Bell, whose biographies are given in this history. Both the father and mother were natives of England and came to California, settling in Butte County, in the early days of the county's history, and here became numbered among the representative members of the community. Francis T. Bell was reared on his father's ranch from the age of five years. He received a good education in the public schools at Nord, and supplemented this with a course at Woodman's Academy, in Chico. He was a willing lad, and early became proficient in handling teams and farm machinery, and in the care of stock. On reaching his majority, he leased land and began raising grain on his own account. He operated one of his mother's ranches, and, as he succeeded, he bought land and added to his original purchase until he now owns six hundred acres of good, productive land, in four different parcels, or farms, lying within five miles of Chico. He is raising wheat and hay, and meeting with splendid success, at present operating twelve hundred acres, all sowed to grain, some for wheat and some to be cut for hay. A resident of the county since his birth, Mr. Bell has had every opportunity to study agricultural conditions in this section, and his success shows his good judgment in ranching operations. He is progressive in all things, and ever ready to do his share toward upbuilding Butte County. Fraternally, he is a member of Great Oak Camp, Woodmen of the World, of Chico.
