John W. (b. 1859, d. 1864)
Mariah (b. 1861, m. Louis Moyer)
Isaac (b. 1862)

Jeanetta (b. 1877, m. Jesse Eppinger)

Mrs. Belles died in a buggy accident on Mercer Street in Harmony, Pennsylvania, when her horse galloped out of control, causing the buggy to strike a hitching post, throwing Mrs. Belles and her passenger out of the buggy. Mrs. Belles struck her head on the cornerstone of the Harmony Savings Bank building and died at the scene. Her passenger, a teenaged grandson (or nephew--news reports vary), was dazed but uninjured.
