Henry returned from the Civil War with injuries to his cheek and neck, and as a result he filed for a Civil War pension in 1867. Literally two weeks after he mustered out he married [[Charlotte Sornberger]], who must have been his sweetheart. Within two years, they had a son [[Ernest Bell]].<ref name="1870Census">1870 US Census, Westerlo, Albany Co, NY</ref> Unfortunately their marriage did not survive, and by 1870 they were separated.<ref name="1870Census"/> In the 1870 Census, Charlotte, who was recorded as a widow, was living in Westerlo with her young son Ernest and a relative [[Alexander Sorenberger]] (B. 1826) and his wife Susan.<ref name="1870Census"/> Note: Alexander's name was incorrectly interpreted as Sawenberger in the 1870 US Census. Henry has not been found in this census. In 1873 in NY, Henry married a woman named Hannah and two years later they had a daughter Carrie Bell.<ref name="1880Census"/><ref name="1900Census"/> After her birth in 1875, they moved to Monroe County, Wisconsin. In 1880 they were living in Angelo, Monroe co, Wisconsin with Henry's son Ernest and Henry was working as a farmer.<ref name="1880Census"/> In addition Henry's father [[William Bell]] was living with them. He was recorded as "Welcome Bell" father at age 75 yrs.<ref name="1880Census"/> In September of 1885, Henry and Hannah had their second child Gertrude.<ref name="1900Census"/> Henry was not recorded in the 1890 US Veterans Census.
