A Civil War widow's pension was granted for Elizabeth Bell in early March of 1903, filed from the Indian Territory. (Oklahoma) Her husband, John C. Bell had served in Co. F, 25th Iowa Infantry. Family information from Ancestry records his death about 1898 and Elizabeth was recorded as a widow in the 1900 South McAlester, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory census with her son, Frank and his family.
The birth year of John C. Bell varies a little in census reports. The 1850 census records John Bell as age 23, born in Tennessee, a carpenter residing with a Bryson family in Wapello County, Iowa. Family information records his parents as Samuel S. & Sena Bell, both born in Tennessee and also recorded in the 1850 Wapello County, Iowa census. Both John C. Bell and Samuel S. Bell were in Boone County, Iowa in 1860.
