BIOGRAPHICAL (From Annals Of The S. W. R. Jones Family, pg 60-61): "Julia Bell was born near Bethel, Polk Co., Oregon, on the donation land claim where her parents settled in 1852, the winter of 1851-2 having been spent in the shanty town of Portland. At that time there were no oak trees on the Polk County hills, (the indians set fires every fall to clear the land for pasturage), and her parents drove directly over them from Lincoln, where they landed from a river boat, to Bethel. Her father, Geo. C. Bell, was born in Morgan County, Ohio. His parents were Joseph and Nancy Shubridge Bell, and his grandparents, Joseph and Anna Bruce Hezlep Bell, who settled in Belmont County, Ohio, in 1784. He was educated in the Baptist College at Granville, Ohio, and for many years taught in the Academy at Bethel. Her mother, Mary Ann DeLong Bell, who was also a school teacher, was the daughter of James and Nancy Smith DeLong of Morgan County, Ohio, and grand-daughter of (Solomon?) DeLong, who came over with LaFayette. Old friends and relatives tell me what a beautifull girl my mother was, and what a noble woman she became".
