Documentation: Susan Copsey Higgins (some say it is Curtsey) married John William Bell. Her parents, George Higgins and Sally Higgins were living in MO. when they had Susan in 1871. Susan was known to be one of the first automobile fatalities in US history between Springer and Dawson, NM. Evidently, John Bell was driving. John's mother was known to be Cherokee Indian and we feel she and our GrGrGrandfather, George William Bell hid out so not to be put on the reservation.
