Notes:

Name:
James and Arletta Bare owned forty acres on the SW corner of Bellmont, Illinois. They started an apple and cherry tree orchard and a mill to produce cider and sauces. The local farmers brought their fruit to the mill to be processed into juices, butters, and sauces.At first a horse did the grinding and squeezing by pulling the mill around in circles. This business provided a reasonable living and the horse later replaced with a steam driven engine for the grinding process, around 1890. Shortly after the turn of the century, Arletta died (1907) and James Sanford lost all interest in the mill. As a result the business ceased and the fruit trees slowly cut down to make room for farming.

Notes:

Name:
In around the early 1850's Joseph and his family were pioneers,early settlers from Baresville, Ohio and settled in an area known as Lone Oak, Ill which is between Parkersburg and West Salem, Ill.
Lone Oak was a staging area for covered wagons as they converged on southern Illinois from the east. After a few weeks, Joseph and Margaret moved on to a place called Fordas Bottom. This was nothing more than a crossroad church located approx. 3 miles north and 1 mile west of what is now known as Bellmont. After a few months at Fordas Bottom, they moved in to Bellmont which was just being settled as a town. It was called Bellmont after a man named Mont Bell. This settlement became a rather thriving small farm town in the ensuing years with general stores, livery stable, blacksmith, undertaker, newspaper, bakery and so on. It prospered fairly well until WWI and thereafter slowly declined to nothing more than a small quiet country town with a population of 400 in the thirties and 300 in the sixties.
