Cora Bell searching for her family including father George Bell
DEAR EDITOR: I am as one lost from my people, and have been for some fifteen or sixteen years. I do not know my age, though I came from the State of Kentucky some fifteen or sixteen years ago, with a Mrs. Agbert Tancel, as nurse, taking the boat at Hickman, Ky., after a half-day's journey on the cars from the interior to Hickman, where we took the steamer for New Orleans. The lady that I came here with before her marriage was a Miss Jackey Bell, the sister of old Thomas Bell, my and my family's old owner. My father's name was George Bell, my mother being dead, but was named Maria Bell; brothers Bill or William Bell, Ned or Edward Bell, Robert and Newman Bell; sisters, Nancy, Annie, and Metta Bell. If any one in Hickman, Ky., or thereabouts, knows any thing of my family, they will oblige by writing to me. It seems that the said Mrs. Tancel went back to the State of Kentucky, and I remained here in New Orleans. Address Cora Bell, No. 51 Celleste street, between Tchoupitoulas and Religious streets, New Orleans, La.
