Note: I asked Lorene Mays Whitt why Clara Bell had to marry in secretand shesaid that Mamie Martin (Sarah) had told Clara Bell thatif she gotmarried then she would kill herself. I asked Lorenewhy woulda mothertell her child that and she said becauseClara Bell was the last childat home and was the work horse andMamie didn't want to lose that.Lorene said that after Martinwas killed Clara Bell blamed MamieMartin and never forgave herand moved out. She moved in with herbrother Robert and hisfamily. When Martin was killed no one believedClara Bell thatshe had married him so her brother Luther went down tothe courthouse and found the marriage record and came back and toldthefamily that it was the truth. Before her death she informedhersister Mary Lou that she wanted to be buriednext to Martin andhersister said why they had never lived together and Clara Bellstated sowhat that was still her husband.
