I am considering trying to talk the wife into a hundred mile or so jaunt from Hannibal so that I can go visit the grave and maybe do a little research on the Bell Family. It seems that the Matriarch of the Bell family (at least as far as I have been able to get them back in the last 20 years) died and is buried in Rushville, Illinois. Since we are going to be so close on the trip, I am thinking that I might see if I can get Illianna and the Kids to let me do just a little research there. Maybe Half a day. If nothing else, I'd like to find the grave and get a picture. At best, find that someone local has done research and has a lot of information I've not been able to find in the last 30 years........ An old Family Bible would be fantastic, old family photographs would be the mother load..... But, I think I would be happy to just visit the grave and take some pictures.....
My thought is being so close, I'd hate to miss the opportunity... because as the poem says, knowing how way leads on to way, I may never pass this way again.....
