William Bell tree Smith was born, July 16, 1869 in Cherokee ,Alabama. He died on August 16, 1908. There are  many stories about his life, apparently some true and some not so true. Some of the things that are true is that he got his nick-name Bell tree because he sold whiskey under a tree that had a bell for customers to ring for service. And apparently he was a successful business person as he owned a hotel in Bluffton, Alabama. And he also was a family man to sire eleven children!!
