I have created a short profile for noted Quaker lawyer, president of American Cyanamid, and trustee of Haverford College William Brown Bell. His parents are not presently in WikiTree. Would one of our Quakers Project members like to connect him to our tree? Many thanks in advance.

Edit: adding a little intrigue. The grave marker of his wife indicates she died a year before William. Yet, American newspaper accounts of his death in Morocco mention his wife as living. Was there a second wife?

It looks like he must have remarried.  Here is death announcement from The Philadelphia Inquirer, which calls his wife Marion Walters Bell, not Susan (Alsop) Bell.

Here is a death announcement for Susan Alsop Bell, which recites her death the year earlier on November 4, 1949.

Yes, please check Familysearch tree for William Brown Bell: M2NB-6NW. His wife was Susan Kite Alsop, and they had three children, of whom only one lived past infancy.

His parents are Thomas Alsop Bell (1844-1899) and Elizabeth Dunn Bell (1848-1925); they had five children including William.
