I am looking for the graves of Elizabeth Bell's parents. They were killed at the same time during a boiler explosion at the lumber mill were Mr. Bell was working. Mrs. Bell had brought him lunch and while they ate together the boiler blew up killing them both and leaving Elizabeth an orphan around the age of 16. The event would have taken place around 1900. Rumor has it that she was from Boyce, and had been visiting with relatives when she met my grandfather EF Presley at the post office in Zowelle. At their meeting she was already an orphan. Any help would end an endless search.
