These are jottings he made in his old age :

As to the help he had, A single expression from his wife must do: "The new western home was a log cabin 16x18 fitly furnished. Entering with her husband, she looked smil- ingly around, and said, "Yes, I agree to live here one year with- out grumbling." In old age she wrote, "There is no part of our married life I look back upon with more pleasure than our first years in Iowa." Her maiden name was Eliazbeth Jacobs.

HISTORY
Bell, Launcelot G. This honored pioneer veteran, not a seminary graduate, left his Virginia home, coming with his own covered wagon all the way to lowa, in 36. We find him connected with Burlington, Madison, Shiloh and Fairfield. His work was everywhere; and ended only with his life. B. in Va., 1789, soldier in War of 1812; Teacher, Ruling Elder. Lic. in 36. Gave to Iowa 32 years of diligent and successful ser- vice. He established two female seminaries; organized 28 churches, 3 Presbyteries and 1 Synod.
In his old age he twice revisited the western churches he had organized, involving a horseback journey of 700 miles.
In spring of 68 he visited Nebraska City, where he had or- ganized his last church. Returning, he reached Afton, where he was to hold Communion. Was taken ill the night after his arrival, and said: "Brother Sipe, I have come to your house to die." And so from that loving home he passed to the house not made with hands, beloved and honored by the churches he had served, and a real Father Bell to his companions. D. in 68. Age. 79. G. p. 69.
