A son of Ronald Bell, who is now living at the advanced age of eighty-seven years, Malcolm G Bell, Sr., was born in Canada. At the age of eight years he came with his parents to the States and for six or more years lived in Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin. Coming then to Iowa, his father rented land in Owen Township, which was the family home for a number of years. On attaining his majority Malcolm began farming in Owen, from there coming in 1882 to Portland Township. Buying a tract of land, he labored hard to place it under cultivation, in addition to tilling the soil feeding and raising a fine grade of cattle. He grew his farm to four hundred and forty acres. He resided, an honored, contented and respected citizen until his death in August 1904.
