Sarah Turtle & Children / George R. Bell from IRE to Iowa & MN

Searching for info on Sarah Turtle family. Sarah (Bell?) Turtle born ca 1877 IRE. She, her husband, and older children immigrated 1908 from IRE to U.S.

A George R.B. Bell born ca 1893/94 IRE and immigrated 1914 from IRE to U.S. is apparently a brother to Sarah Turtle.

George R.B. Bell WW1 draft registration form shows him working as a "farm laborer" on the Sarah Turtle farm in Chester Township, Poweshiek County, Iowa.

The 1920 census finds them in Le Sueur County, MN. George R. Bell is listed as a "brother" on this census and living in the same household as Sarah and her children.

Sarah's children: William J. born ca 1900 IRE; Agnes born ca 1902 IRE; John born ca 1903 IRE; Emma born ca 1907 IRE; Lettie born ca 1911 MT; Frank and Florence (apparently twins) born ca 1913 Iowa.

Can not any of this family any where in the 1930 census.

Am particularly interested in finding information and descendants of George R.B. Bell and descendants of Sarah Turtle.

Thanks for any assist.
