The family of John R. Bell apparently MEMORIALIZED him as
the victim of a murder when he and his son, John A. Bell,
were killed in a shootout on the streets of Cahawba in 1856.
The three other men involved were exonerated in court,
but the Bell Family declared via the inscription on his tombstone:
"No murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."
