Doylestown A-L


A. M. FELL dentist, P.O. Doylestown, was born in Buckingham 
township, Bucks county, October 24, 1834.  His parents, 
Seneca and Sarah (Cress) Fell, were of German and English 
descent. The Fell family came from England, and three 
brothers settled in Bucks county, but afterwards separated.  
Our subject's grandfather, Seneca Fell, owned a farm in 
Buckingham township, where he lived and died.  Our subject's 
father was also a farmer, and lived and died in Buckingham 
township.  He lived fifty years in one place.  He died in 
1875, and his wife is still living, in her 91st year.  They 
were the parents of seven children, six of whom are still 
living:  Mary A., wife of William K. Large; Cress, James, 
Seneca, Jane, wife of Josiah Pennington; and Asher M.  The 
one deceased was Jenks.  Our subject was reared on a farm 
until he was 26 years of age, when he entered the dental 
office of Dr. Rhoads, of Doylestown, with whom he remained 
about eighteen months.  In 1863 he went to Carversville and 
in 1878 came to Doylestown, and has since practiced here.  
He was married in January 1, 1868, to Mary Ellen Mitchener, 
of Buckingham township.  They are the parents of five 
children, four living:  Florence, Albert, John and Eliza.  
The one deceased was Emily.  Mr. and Mrs. Fell are members 
of the Presbyterian church, of which he is a trustee.  He is 
also one of the managers of the Doylestown and Buckingham 
turnpike.
