Landon C. Bell OT has not been easy to get the appropriate biographical and historical data to ■ accompany the likeness of Mr. Bell which appears on the front cover page. ^JU However, in brief outline, we learn that he was born on a farm in Lunenburg County, Virginia, September 25, 1880; the son of Isaac Bonaparte Bell and his wife, who was Etta Wilburn Hardy, of Dinwiddie County, Virginia. His father, though residing on a farm or country estate, was an active lawyer, but so devoted to his farm also that he maintained his law and business office on the farm,—not only remote from any village, but several miles even from the county seat. Mr. Bell was schooled in the public schools of his County up until his college days. He was graduated from Milligan College, Tennessee, in 1900 with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy, having previously taken diplomas in its school of business, including shorthand, bookkeeping, accounting and banking. Going directly from Milligan College to the University of Virginia, Mr. Bell took his degree of LL. B. in 1902, and that same month was admitted to the bar in Virginia. Milligan College in later years conferred upon him the M. A. degree. Since his admission to the bar in Virginia he has been an active practitioner, first for a few years in his native county as junior member of his father's old firm, the style of the firm upon his entry being changed to TurnbuII, Bell & Bell. He next located at Welch, West Virginia, and he and M. O. Litz (brother of our late lamented George W. Litz) formed the partnership of Bell & Litz. Still later Mr. Bell became a member of the special partnership of Bell & Litz and Greever & Gillespie. In 1907, Mr. Bell severed his connection with these firms to become assistant to the General Counsel of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company, and in this capacity he has served ever since. From 1908 until 1913, he was located in Asheville, North Carolina, representing the Company in North Carolina and Tennessee and in the southern section. In the fall of 1913, he removed to Columbus, where he has since resided. He is Assistant Secretary and Counsel of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company, Raleigh Lumber Company, and of the W. M. Ritter Flooring Corporation. He is General Counsel and a director of The Colleton Cypress Company, and a director and officer of the Big Sandy & Cumberland Railway Company, and of the Smoky Mountain Railway Company. He is a member of the Kit Kat Club, the Crichton Club, the Sons of the American Revolution, a life member of the Ohio Historical and Archaeological Society, member of the Virginia Historical Society, the Scioto Country Club, the Athletic Club of Columbus, and the Colonnade Club of the University of Virginia. In 1912, he was married to Miss Mary Walden Williamson, of Kentucky. The Bells have six children: Landon C. Jr., Mary Walden, Hardy Winston, John Williamson, William Ritter, and Robert Johnson. They reside in Grandview Heights. two

“The Hardwood Bark” was a publication produced “for the employees of the W.M Ritter Lumber Co.” William McClellan Ritter (1864-1952) organized the company in 1901 and, from 1903 until 1926, the company operated on Hazel Creek in Swain County, North Carolina, before moving its operations to Nantahala. Published during the 1920s, the monthly newsletter typically ran to about 25 pages. “The Hardwood Bark” was filled with articles on the Ritter company and the timber industry, but also included local stories. The pages included in this collection were selected because they relate to communities within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The town of Ritter was near the junction of Hazel Creek and the Little Tennessee River; a sawmill was built at Proctor, about four miles north of Ritter. The town of Ritter has long since been abandoned and Proctor is beneath the waters of Fontana Lake.
