BELL, MCLEMORE

I am seeking information on the family of Joseph Ross BELL (1857-1901) and his wife Delphia D. MCLEMORE BELL (1858 - ?). Delphia was the daughter of James H. and Sallie A. WHITAKER MCLEMORE. Joseph, the son of William Ross and Jane Elizabeth MEREDITH BELL, died 21 July, 1901 in Wayne County, Tennessee and is buried at Bell Cemetery. I can find no record of his family after his death. He and Delphia had the following children: James Ross BELL (b. 1884), Brownie or Myrtle E. BELL (b. 1886), Joseph Dickens BELL (b. 1888), and Mary Virginia BELL (b. 1890). Delphia probably remarried and moved from Wayne County. Any assistance with this family would be appreciated.
