Wife of Robert Lee Bell. Dora is possibly the Robert Lee Bell, Sr., also buried in this cemetery. They had a son, Robert L. Bell, among other children. She died between 1920 and 1930 since she appeared on the 1920 US Census but not on the 1930 US Census, where (Robert) Lee Bell is listed as Widowed.
Dora appears on the 1900 US Census as living in Tippah County and born in May 1889. Her parents are Elick and Lizzie Robinson, and her siblings are Tommie, Vera, and Dexter.
The infant son attributed to Dora Lee buried in this cemetery (closer examination indicates this child's dates are 1900s, not 1800s), would mean that Dora gave birth when she was only 12 years old. While tragic on many levels, giving birth at such a young age was far from unusual for women of this time and economic situation.
