I just finished typing up the story of the Bell boys and their service during the Civil War. John and his younger brother George were my great-great uncles. They served with Company F of the 140th Pennsylvania volunteer infantry regiment, joining up in 1862 from Beaver county Pennsylvania. John died at age 21 on the wheatfield of Gettysburg on July 2, 1863. George was captured twice and spent August 1864 to March of 1865 in Andersonville prison.
so there story will not be forgotten.
