The Clarion-Ledger Jackson Daily News I Saturday, August 6, 1988 JACKSON-AREA DEATHS Aaron Bell, fencing contractor By Michael Wimberley Clarion-Ledger Obituary Writer Aaron Bell, 55, of 1439 Geeston a fencing contractor, died of a stroke Sunday at his home. Services are 1 p.m. today at Griffen United Methodist Church in Starkville with burial in New Prospect Cemetery there. Before joining the Army, Mr. Bell installed fences for different companies in the Jackson area and returned to his trade when his enlistment was over.
After gaining experience, Mr. Bell went into business for himself, becoming one of the first black-owned and operated fence companies in Mississippi. During his early years in business, Mr. Bell faced a lot of pressure, said his friend and fellow businessman Jim Thrasher of Thrasher Appliance Repairs, but he did not let the pressure show. "He was a very calm person," Thrasher said.
"He never seemed to have gotten excited. I think that the pressure was there; but he did not express it openly." Pressure was nothing new for Mr. Bell, Thrasher said. "He had been in business during the time of hardcore segregation." Thrasher said he and Mr. Bell often had lunch together.
And at those meetings the subject ultimately ended on one issue: "We talked about business or the struggle of the small black business. That was generally the highlight of our conversation." Survivors include: wife, Deloris; daughters, Phyllis Clayton, Vanessa Vance and Yvonne Clark, all of Germany, and Linda Webster, Deborah Johnson and Chanda Bell, all of Jackson; mother, Annie L. Bell of Starkville; brother, Willie C. Bell of Jackson; sisters, Clarice Larry and Marlene Simpson, both of Starkville, and Annie L. Lowery of Itta Bena; and seven grandchildren.

Move OK'd for corps workers The Associated Press WASHINGTON The U.S. House Committee on Public Works has approved a proposed lease for moving more than 600 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers employees out of the Walnut Towers office building in Vicksburg.
The employees would be moved into temporary office space at Battlefield Mall. Walnut Towers, a privately owned government office building, has been troubled by fire and safety code violations. It was constructed in the early 1970s. The committee's action allows for the corps workers to move out of the building and into the mostly deserted mall while repairs, which are estimated to take at least one year and cost $3 million, are made, said Nick Pula, congressional aide to non-voting American Samoa delegate Fofo Sunia. Sunia chaired the subcommittee hearings.
General Services Administration representatives, the lessors of the building, said that after repairs are made corps workers probably will complete the lease with the owners of the building, Vicksburg Federal Building Limited Partnership, and then either move into or construct a building more suited to the corps' long lease with needs. The government's the owners is effective until 1998. Henry Dulaney, a corps worker in Walnut Towers, said he is glad the project was finally starting to 1 move. "We're all happy here," he said. Vicksburg Mayor Robert Walker said that although the removal of the workers from the downtown area will leave a void, he intends to take action to keep the downtown area alive.

Clarion-Ledger. child's civil rights. Foxworth's complaint was not unexpected, she added, after Hattiesburg lawyer Dan Wise, who represented Foxworth in the hearings in California, said the federal lawsuit gave Mississippi the chance to "sue her socks off." "After Dan Wise made the statement that he was going to sue my socks off, I sent him a colorful pair of red socks," Brogna said. Gail Martin and Teresa Brown greeted the complaint with humor. "I have trouble coming up with a dollar," Martin quipped about the amount of damages.
"They're nervous," she added. "This is what's called on the defensive and it's about time. They've flipped a gear." Brown said she welcomed the complaint. "Sure, I hid, I aided and I abetted," she said. "I knew where she was and I also knew the child's story and I wasn't going to turn her in.
I didn't think she needed to be returned to a place she feared most." She predicted Foxworth would regret filing the complaint. "All he wants to do is raise a stink and get us all into court. Boy, have we got a story to tell. I welcome this lawsuit. I welcome the chance to tell everybody what that child told me." The complaint was initially filed in the original case in which Singley divorced Foxworth.
It has since been assigned a new number, which means Dale, the judge who ruled on all the previous actions, might not hear this case. Dale is among the officials named in the federal lawsuit filed by Brogna and Medley. Carlos I. Fulton automobile salesman Carlos I.
