Dora Bell Belle was born on December 1, 1948, in Alabama. She had wonderful churchgoing parents. She was the youngest of nine siblings.

When Dora Bell turned ten years old, she started working on the farm with her father. She and the rest of her siblings had to be ready and out on the wagon by 5:00 a.m. They all worked together on their farm until 7:00 a.m., except for her elder sisters and brothers; they would continue working. The younger children, including Dora Bell, would leave for school.

They had to walk two miles every day to a small church, which was their school. Mrs. Lily was the teacher of all the children. She was also their mother’s sister. When school was over for the day, the Belle children had to walk again three miles to where their father worked as a carpenter. All the children had to work with him on the houses for a couple hours. When the job was done for the day, the Belle family would leave, return to their farm to pick cotton and vegetables, and maintain other things until sundown.

On Saturday and Sunday after church, all the Belle girls have to go over to a small building, which was a couple of feet from their home, to work with their mother, who makes handmade children’s clothes for their community. Mrs. Belle was also a midwife. All the girls have to assist her when it was time for the mothers-to-be to give birth. Their husbands or one of their family members would call or come over to get one of the Belle ladies. It did not matter what time it was. The eldest Belle daughter, whose name was Caroline and who was studying to become a doctor, would be the one to go. Caroline would always wake up Dora Bell and their other sister Janet to come along with her; their mother and the rest of the Belle girls would always stay behind in case someone else needs one of the midwives.
