Clayton Bell passed away several years ago - I think in 2000. Interesting bit of trivia about that. He had announced his retirement, and a search committee had picked a successor. Clayton passed away the weekend that the new pastor was supposed to start. The first official act of the new guy was the funeral.

It was the Presbyterian Journal that Nelson Bell was associated with.

Thanks for the info.

I had heard Clayton had passed away, just wasn’t sure. If he passed in 2000, he was only 68 or 69. Do you know the cause?

Regarding Dr. Bell, I knew it was something Presbyterian. :))

On a further trivia note, Clayton Bell played high school football with the former Chancellor of North Carolina State U., Larry Monteith. They weren’t in the same class. Bell was a year ahead of Monteith.
