Clark Bell, Esq.
—————————
Clark Bell, a brief sketch of whose career, we now present,
is still in the full vigor and strength of manhood. He was
born 54 years ago in Jefferson County, N. Y. He fitted for
college at Franklin Academy, N. Y., and was prepared to
enter Yale at 17, but was prevented from doing so, by the
delicate state of his health. His physicians prescribed a
course of hardy out-of-door exercise, which was pursued with
a most happy result. He then studied law, and at the age
of 21 was admitted to the bar, and began practice in Ham-
mondsport, N Y., succeeding the late Morris Brown, with
whom he had studied. On the retirement of Lieut. Gov-
ernor Robert Campbell, Mr. Bell removed to Bath, Steuben
County, where the firm of McMaster & Bell was formed,
which at once entered upon a large and lucrative practice.
The result was, to so far give Mr. Bell prominence in his pro-
fession, that he was retained by the Promoters of the Union
Pacific Railway Company, as their Attorney and Counsel, and
he thereupon in 1864, removed to the city of New York.
