CHAUNCEY S. BELL (1842-1925)
Chauncey S. Bell was a native of New York State. His father was born at Vermont and mother in Massachusetts. During his childhood, the Bell family relocated to the pine forests of Michigan where they endured the hardships of all pioneers. Diligent toil brought Bell success in the timber and lumber business. When his health began to wane, he relocated to eastern Mississippi. C.S. Bell came to Ocean Springs in 1896, where he managed one of the world's first grafted pecan orchards. (The Jackson County Times, April 18, 1925, p. 3, c. 3)
C.S. Bell had married Amazilla Marie Fulkerson (1847-1932), the daughter of Silas Fulkerson and Ruth Primrose, circa 18 . She was born in Hillsdale County, Michigan of New York parents. The Bells had no children. (JXCO 1900 Federal Census)
In 1896 and 1897, Mr. Bell acquired about sixty-five acres of farmland east of Ocean Springs in Section 29, T7S-R8W. Here, on Holcomb Boulevard and surroundings, Bell and his wife, resided at "Boulevard Farm", their domicile and farm. In addition to pecans, Bell cultivated sugar cane. This crop was expected to be four times more valuable than that of a corn or wheat harvest in the Midwest. (The Pascagoula Democrat-Star, November 26, 1897)
In 1917, Ocean Heights Boulevard, now called Hudson Road, was opened for public use through Bell's pecan orchard after improvements were completed. (The Jackson County Times, October 27, 1917)
The Bell Orchards were sold to the May family in February 1922. H.B. May acquired the thirty-five acres of pecan orchards on Ocean Heights Boulevard (Hudson Road) for $8000. L.G. May bought the Bell home and other appurtenances on Holcomb Boulevard.(JXCO Land Deed Bk. 51, p. 256-257)
In April 1922, Mrs. Bell had G.N. Tillman (1872-1925) build her a home, "Rest Haven" at present day 1112 Iberville Drive. She had been at Monroe, Louisiana and was a guest of Mrs. Orey Young Sr. (1871-1922) while her cottage was built. (The Jackson County Times, April 1, 1922)
Mrs. Amazilla F. Bell passed on June 29, 1932. She legated her estate worth approximately $5000 to her niece, Mrs. Mattie Wescott, of Rockford, Kent County, Michigan. (JXCO Chancery Court Cause No. 5428-July 1932).
In March 1934, Mrs. Wescott conveyed the Bell cottage on Iberville to Helen O'Brien Wentworth, the spouse of William D. Wentworth (1873-1939). Mrs. Wentworth was the sister of Martha O'Brien Minnemeyer (1883-1968).(JXCO Land Deed Bk. 66, pp. 224-225)
