Jesse Bell Dies In Hospital Here Saturday --
Jesse Bell, well-known Montrose resident, died at the La Junta Methodist Hospital Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Mr. Bell suffered a paralytic stroke at his home in Montrose on November 7 and was brought by ambulance to La Junta for hospitalization on January 11.
Mr. Bell was born in Franklin County, Tennessee in 1862. He would have been 83 years old on March 1. He attended public schools in the Franklin County vicinity and the Normal School at Winchester, Tennessee. At the age of 21, Mr. Bell came to Colorado, first locating in Lake City where he started to study law under the direction of his brother, John C. Bell.
When the Ute Indians were removed from the Uncompahgre valley and the white settlers moved in, Mr. Bell moved to Montrose and abandoned his study of law to take up land and engage in the cattle industry. He disposed of his cattle interests in 1918 but retained his farm land, although he had been living in the city of Montrose since 1911.
On December 25, 1889, Mt. Bell married Ida Abernathy in Alto, Tennessee. To this union three children were born. The children are Mrs. J. H. (Clara) Humphries of La Junta, Jean Bell, who had kept the home of Mr. Bell since the death of Mrs. Bell in March of 1945, and John L. Bell, an attorney at Beaumont, Texas.
