Belma Belle+ Easton 
Belma Belle+ was born on July 29th, 1879 in IL. Belma Belle+'s father was Marion Orlando+ Easton and her mother was Rebecca Ann+ Rennels.

Source 1. Uncle Robert`s Troxell research.
Note: Interestingly, the 1930 Federal census for Marion, Wayne, IN shows Belma "Bishop" (her second married name) living with son-in-law Whitt Hazelwood daughter Vivian. Her first husband (my g-grandfather) Charles Oscar Troxell, however, is shown living at the residence as well (they had been divorced for 12 years).
HISTORICAL HI-LITES: Just months before Belma was born, F.W. Woolworth opened the first "Five-and-Dime" store in Utica, NY, Thomas Edison successfully tested the first incandescent light, and James Ritty received patient for the cash register. Albert Einstein (my hero!), W.C. Fields, and Will Rogers were born in 1879.
