A calm, stoic man, Samuel Jordan Bell, who admittedly preferred nature over people, passed away on June 20, 2024 at his home in Bandera, Texas. Born in Crystal Springs, Mississippi in 1931 to Lucille and Samuel Otto Bell, as a youngster and teen, Sam could be found most days behind a mule and a plow on the family farm, where they grew primarily tomatoes and cabbage. His early life was like that of many rural, farm, youth in the 1930s— full of a lot of hard work and exhaustion. He didn’t care too much about formal schooling and preferred to be outside learning from nature. After 8th grade, he and formal school parted ways and he worked fulltime on the farm. (If you have ever read the book by Jimmy Carter called “An Hour Before Daylight” about his life growing up in Plains, Georgia during the same period, it describes a lot of my dad’s early life. He said the only difference was that the Carters had a lot more money than the Bells did.)
