Bell Cemetery was located on the farm owned by the Parrott family. The remains originally interred at Bell Cemetery were moved and their final resting place is unknown at this time. It is possible that the remains were transferred to Ebenezer Cemetery as it was close by and room would have been available. Bell Cemetery was named for a man who was buried there: Arthur G. Bell To date, no marker has been found at Ebenezer Cemetery for Mr. Bell.
