  1. James & Rhonda Ward says:

    Our sympathies go out to the family of our dear cousin Dr.Charles.Bell. He was instrumental in getting me to join the Sons of the American Revolution and quick to point out that our forefather John Ward fought in that war. I regret that we will not be able to attend the funeral, however our prayers are with you in this time of sorrow and celebration of his life. Callie and my father Thomas were brother and sister, in a very close family of 14 children, raised by Malcom and Cora Ward in Coryell County Texas. Charles regularly visited my dad in Matagorda, and the families enjoyed going to the beach. What a great family!!!
