Amanzo Harrier and the Cow Bell Restaurant

cow bell restaurant

Attached is a photo of a establishment which was named the "COW BELL" restaurant which was in operation probably in the early 1900's. It was located according to our family alblim in Chelsea, Rodgers Co. The person in the white shirt and apron is my great uncle Amanzo Harrier, the woman to his left (close to the stove) is his Cherokee wife Belle. The other person wearing the hat is probably a friend or a close customer.

I would like to find what great aunt Belle's last name was and any other available info concerning the Cow Bell restaurant. I inform you for certain that Amanzo was the first son of George Johnson Harrier a civil war veteran, and his mother was Sara Elizabeth Orr. All these folks are from the Danville, Illinois Vermillion Co. area.

Amanzo left Illinois for some reason but while in Chelsea met and evidently married Belle. Then they evidently sold the business and both moved back to so. Danville. Both I believe are now interned in Songer Cemetery located in Tilton, Ill. which is now part of south Danville.

Any info would greatly be appreciated, and of course any other info which I may posses will be passed on.

Thank you in advance. My name is Loral Verhoeven and I am the grandson of one of Amanzo's brothers.

Thanks for stopping by!
