Hi, I recently obtained an obituary for Clara Bell Williams Kelly. She and her husband Bayl B.( may be Bell, Bail, or Baylis) are buried in the cemetary at Big Creek, Williamston. In the term of 1898 a Balis Kelly joined the church by experience, no mention was made of a Clara Bell. Could it be possible that she grew up in the church, according to the obit she was only about 6 to 8 years old in 1898. Is there any other burial records beside the headstones?obit is below. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Gail Smith Ennis (Greenville News -------Sept. 24, 1936 Mrs. Clara Bell Kelly Woodville Sept. 23 ___ Mrs. Clara Bell Kelly, 44, wife of B.B.

Gail, I think we are related. I have some info on my line of Kelly's buried at Big Creek . There are a lot of the same names in my line. My Grandpa was Abner, Great Grandpa William, (WN on his grave) My great Uncle Zed married a Clara Bell, and I had a great Uncle Bailey.
