L. G. BELL. D. D. S.

     Dr. L. Gr. Bell, the oldest resident dentist in New Ulm, this county, and
who for years has been prominently identified with the social and cultural
activities of that city, is a native of Germany, having been born in the grand
duchy of Baden, September 3, 1864.

     L. G. Bell received a sound education in his native land and upon
completing the course corresponding to the high-school course in this country he
worked for a dentist in Germany for over a year and attracted by the superior
quality of American dentistry he came to the United States to qualify himself
for the practice of the profession to which he had devoted his life. It was on
July 1, 1883, that he landed in the United States and two years afterward
entered the Indiana Dental College at Indianapolis, from which he was graduated
with the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1887. Thus equipped for the
practice of his profession, Doctor Bell returned to his native land, and
followed his occupation in Germany and Switzerland, but he was not content after
four years of life in those countries and he returned to the United States. The
Doctor for a time after his return was engaged in practice in New York City and
then moved to Milwaukee, where he remained about a year, at the end of which
time, in 1889, he came to Minnesota and located at New Ulm, where he ever since
has been quite successfully engaged in the practice of his profession, being now
the oldest resident dentist in the city.

     In 1893 Dr. L. G. Bell was united in marriage to Louisa Fischer, daughter
of Richard Fischer and wife, and to this union one child has been born, a son,
Kurt, a graduate of the Indiana Dental College, of the class of 1916. Doctor
Bell is a member of the Sons of Herman and takes a warm interest in the affairs
of that popular organization. He is an "independent" in his political views and
for years has taken an earnest interest in local governmental affairs, ever an
advocate of purity in politics.
