General Notes: Husband - William Bell

---

He was a native of Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and moved to Bedford County, where he learned the trade of carpenter. He came to Harrisburg in 1818 and worked on the Capitol building, then being erected, assisting in the construction of the stairways of that edifice. He married and purchased property on the corner of Second and Mulberry streets, where he lived until 1836, when he removed to Second and Chestnut streets, and spent there the remainder of his life. He abandoned carpenter work in 1824 or 1825 and engaged in mercantile business. He was one of the original stockholders in the Dauphin County Bank. He rendered service in the War of 1812.
He was a member of the German Reformed church and his wife of the Methodist Episcopal church. They reared six children.
