BELL, William E.
William E. Bell, M.D., was born in Polk County, Missouri, in 1847, and is the son of Robert H. Bell, M. D., a native of Lexington, Kentucky, born in 1819. He studied medicine in Lexington, and graduated at the Transylvania college in that city. Coming to Missouri, he settled in Polk County, practicing there and in Benton County for fifteen years, and then removed to Pettis County, where he is now a prominent physician. William's mother was formerly Sarah M. Ferguson, a Kentuckian by birth. He was the oldest of five children. While young, he fitted himself for the practice of medicine, studying with his father as percepter. He received a good academic education, and after a thorough preparation he practiced in Polk County two years, and for two years in Benton and Hickory Counties. He attended two full courses of lectures at the medical college in St. Louis, where he was graduated in 1879. In September, 1880, he came to Osceola, where he secured a good practice. He is making the diseases of women and children a specialty, and when not otherwise engaged, his time is taken up in the investigation of diseases, and keeping up with the new complications and their remedies. Few men of his age have made a more enviable reputation than Dr. Bell. -- History of St. Clair Co., Missouri, 1883
