Born near Oskaloosa, August 30, 1857, he was the youngest son of Rev. and Mrs. William Bell, and his childhood life was spent on the "old Bell place", across Slough creek southwest of the present Syl Briner farm. Later he lived in Oskaloosa with his widowed mother. Nov. 27, 1884, he was married to Mary May Huddleston. Three years later he purchased the farm 2 1/2 miles of town where his son Walter and family now live. During the early days when transportation was lacking in this section, Iwin Bell was engaged in freighting across the country, along the prairie trails, between Oskaloosa and Leavenwroth, Kansas City and more distant points. His personal reminiscences included many incidents of unusual interest. In 1919 the family moved into town, purchasing the Gephart property which was the home until last December, when Mr. and Mrs. Bell removed to Topeka to be with their youngest daughters. Mr. Bell suffered a stroke in May, 1928, which he never fully recovered. A second stroke, late in January, 1929, brought about his death, which occurred Feb. 9. His age was 71 years, 5 months. His life was filled with love and devotion for his family, and the family reunions which were often held were a source of great pleasure to him. His survivors are his wife, and seven children: Anna and Iris, of the home address; William T., Kansas City; Mrs. Edward Lobb, Mrs. George Lobb and Walter A., all of Oskaloosa; Mrs. Guy Smalley, Perry, eleven grandchildren; one sister Mrs. Dora Austin of Oskaloosa. A son, Leonard Elvin preceded him in death. The body lay in state at Peebler's undertaking parlors until Monday, Feb. 11, when it was brought to Oskaloosa, where funeral services were held, from the Methodist church, Rev. T. A. Nichols, Rev. A. H. Tebben and Rev. R. O. Gilpin officiating. Interment at Pleasant View cemetery Oskaloosa.
