BCHC ID NUMBER: 22387CEMETERY: Smith Bend-Coon Creek
PERSON BURIED: Ara Belle HALL NAME AS ENGRAVED ON MARKER: Ora Bell HALL
BIRTH DATE: 07 Sep 1876 (date is from other sources) BIRTH DATE (AS ENGRAVED): 13 Sep 1876
DEATH DATE: 02 Feb 1956 (date is from other sources) DEATH DATE (AS ENGRAVED): 10 Feb 1956
CONFLICTING INFORMATION: Gravestone gives birth as Sep 13. Obituary gives birth as Sep 07. Gravestone gives death as Feb 13. Obituary gives death as Feb 02. The Clifton Record (03 Feb 1956) reported her death, so the obitituary is believed to have the correct dates and the grave marker is therefore incorrect. Although her name is shown as Ora Bell on the marker, it is believe that it was actually Ara Belle or maybe originally Arabelle.
NOTES: In 1985, the marker only said Mrs. Hall with no dates. It has been replaced with a subsequent marker but it has several errors.
