Joseph Bell was born in Farlam in 1861. He joined the White Star Line in 1885, and worked his way up to the position of Chief Engineer on the Titanic. He, and all the engineering crew, went down with the ship when it sunk in 1912. This is the gravestone of Joseph's mother, brother and great grandfather. An inscription in memory of the engineer was added - presumably shortly after the disaster. See Image .
