Information on the Frank & Eudora Bell Family Given By: Alvin Tims Bell,
Lepanto Arkansas. Compiled By: Warren B. Steed, Liberty Texas, November 1972
It is possible that Alma was born in Winston County, Mississippi, but it is
unlikely. Her father, James White, bought land in that county during 1897 and
moved the whole family there. Given how early in the year Alma was born,
however, her birthlace was probably the "old place" in Choctaw County.
