Notes for Mary Bell Rigney:
The 1900 Federal Census, Delta County of this family includes a black woman, age 70, named Phyllis Bell born in Louisiana.  She was a freed slave who had belonged to Mary's parents, and took the Bell family name.  She stayed on to help Mary with her young family.  Called "Aunt Phyllis" by the family, she lived with the Miller family until her death.


Mary had tuberculosis and it was thought by her doctor that the climate in New Mexico might benefit her health.  Her husband cut lumber in his mill to build a house, loaded it, their furniture and farm animals and the family moved to New Mexico.  Mary died there in 1903 and her husband and the family moved back to Ben Franklin, Texas.
