Author: EDCRF Surnames: Classification: biography Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.washington.counties.king/7415.2.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Fort Wayne Weekly Sentinel Wednesday, June 12, 1901 Found Their Father Auburn, Indiana, June 5. Mrs. G.H. Yesbera, wife of a well-known business man of this city, together with her sister, Miss Neva Bell, who left for the west some time ago in an effort to locate their father, Henry C. Bell, have been successful in their search and father and daughters met at Arlington, Washington, where Mr. Bell is superintending the construction of a new line of railroad. The father appeared greatly rejoiced at meeting his daughters. Bell left Auburn eighteen years ago and from that time his family practically lost track of him completely. He had been a prominent railroad contractor, but lost all his property and caused heavy losses to friends who had backed him. It is supposed he could not face these conditions and therefore left.
