My grandmother on Dad's side was a Bell. My great great grandfather was C.M. Bell, an early photographer with a studio in Washington, DC. He is known for his photography of Native American chiefs and other notables. If you google C.M. Bell portraits or studio you'll get to see some of his work and or information
