WILLIAM HARVEY BELL:  This beloved brother was born in Daviess 
County but as to the exact date we have no information.  The first 
information we have concerning him is his ordination which took place 
at Hawesville, Kentucky, on March 4, 1888.  From that time until about 
the year 1906 he served eighteen churches in this and adjoining 
Associations.  Among those served in this body may be mentioned: Mt. 
Vernon, Mt. Pleasant, Rumsey, and Bethel in McLean County; Midway, 
Delaware Creek, Curdsville, Red Hill, Panther Creek, in Daviess 
County; and Bethlehem in Muhlenberg County.  For a while he lived at 
Central City, Kentucky, and still later in Henderson, Kentucky.  In 
1907 he moved to Nash, Texas, where he spent the remainder of his 
earthly life.  His death occurred there in the year 1919, after about 
31 years in the ministry.
