Information on Golden W. Bell

My article on "The Untold Story of Robert H. Jackson's Youngstown Concurrence" is now published in the Journal of Supreme Court History. (I can't link to the article yet.) In that article, I discuss how Justice Jackson borrowed from a secret 1937 Justice Department memo by Assistant Solicitor General Golden W. Bell. Readers of this blog will remember prior posts about this discovery.

I would be interested to know if Bell has any living descendants who could tell me more about him. He died in 1966, and I know little aside from his work at the Justice Department in the 1930s and his stint as a legal advisor in the Philippines before World War II.
