Yesterday and Today in History ☀️

February 12, 1789 brother Benjamin Franklin composed, signed, and submitted the first petition against slavery to appear before the U.S. Congress.

February 13, 1927 Francis Jardine "Frank" Bell died on in his daughter's home in Oakland, California, at the age of 87. Bell came to Nevada in 1858, to supervise the construction of a transcontinental telegraph line though the state from Utah to California. He worked on this project until 1860. Later, Bell became a telegraph operator and was one of operators who telegraphed Nevada's Constitution to Washington D.C. in 1864. Bell served as warden of the Nevada State Prison from 1883 to 1887. In 1889, he was appointed the eighth lieutenant governor. He became acting governor when Governor Stevenson signed a disability certificate on September 1, 1890, making him Nevada's first foreign-born governor. During his tenure, he continued to carry out the policies of the Stevenson administration. Bell did not seek a full term, serving until the inauguration of Roswell K. Colcord in 1891. He then returned to his work in the telephone and telegraph field. He continued to be politically active. He served as Warden of the Nevada State Prison from 1893 to 1895 and as justice of the peace from 1905 to 1909. Bell was a member of Reno Lodge No.13 in Reno, Nevada. Bell also served as the Grand Master of Nevada.
