Theodore Bell was born in Knox in November 1868. He was the son of Norman O. Bell (b. 1843, d. after 1910) and Permelia Armstrong (7/27/1845 - 10/3/1912).

Clifford A. Bell died in a plane crash at Hampton Roads, VA in 1919 and was buried in Knox Cemetery - Clifford A. Bell LIUET. U.S.N. 1895 - 1919 KILLED AT HAMPTON ROADS, VA
Dead Aviator's Body Brought Home.
The funeral of Clifford A. Bell, who lost his life off Newport News in February while piloting a giant hydroplane with several officers of the naval training station at that place, was held at Knox cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. Members of Noah Lodge No. 754. F. and A. M.. of Altamont, attended and held Masonic services at the grave.
The accident in which Lieut. Bell lost his life occurred during a heavy storm. The seaplane became unmanageable and plunged into the ocean with all hands aboard. It was believed at the time of the accident that all of the crew had been carried down with the machine, but it appears that Lient. Bell bad unfastened himself when going down, thereby making it possible to get away from the sinking plane.
Several days ago his body was washed ashore and identified by a ring bearing bis initials and by the name on his clothing. The remains were shipped to Altamont in a metallic casket. Lieut. Bell had been in the service about four years and had expected to come home on furlough shortly after the date of his death. He was about 24 years old and is survived by his father, Theodore Bell, and his brother, DeWitt Bell.
