Frederick Bell was born in Leitersburg District, May 17, 1811, the son of Frederick and Maria (Emerick) Bell. In his youth he was employed in his father's mill and thus acquired some knowledge of the business, but before engaging in it individually he rented for several years the farm near Jacobs church owned by his father.
In 1840 he purchased the mill east of Leitersburg that had been the property of his father and here in 1841 he embarked in the milling business. After relinquishing this he resided in Leitersburg and subsequently removed to Fulton, Mo., where he died on the 30th of November, 1893.
In 1837 he married Susan, daughter of Philip and Martha (Hege) Tritle, who died at Leitersburg on the 28th of June, 1872. Their children were Magdalena, deceased; Rebecca, deceased wife of Lewis L. Mentzer; Ann Maria, wife of Benjamin Carver; Philip M.; Amanda C, widow of Hiram Wolf, of Mt. Morris, Ill.; Morris F.; Emma A., deceased wife of H. J. Friedlein, and Ida M., wife of P. J. McFarland, of Kansas City, Kans.
