The town within Bell Twp was Lerado, now little more than a spot on the road. The next nearest towns would be Turon to the west and Langdon to the north. Arlington is northeast and would be the location of the office for the consolidated school district that encompasses that area now. If nobody answers you with the specific information you need, you can write to the Reno County Courthouse to ask where the records might be - 1st and Adams, Hutchinson, KS 67501 - or contact the Fairfield United School District High School at 900 West Main, Arlington, KS 67514 to see if they can help you.
