Notes	1900 Callaway Co., Census, single, living at home with parents: Ovid K Bell 24, June 1875, newspaper reporter Ovid Bell Press, Fulton, Missouri He was born near Reform, Missouri, in Callaway county. His occupation listed on his death certificate was printing and publishing business. He lived at 825 Court Street, Fulton, Missouri at the time of his death, he died at home. His son, Ovid Bell, gave the information for his death certificate. He assumed the debt of the newspaper's ill owner and took over as the new owner of the Fulton Gazette newspaper in 1901. Bell converted the Gazette from a weekly to a daily newspaper. In 1911 Bell constructed the building that now houses the Fulton Sun newspaper. But eventually Bell reached the conclusion that Fulton was not large enough of a city to support two newspapers. He then sold the Fulton Gazette in 1927 to the owners of the Fulton Sun, creating the Fulton Sun-Gazette, which later evolved into the Fulton Sun. He then started the Ovid Bell Press, which is still a large company in Fulton, run by his grandson, in 2009.
