She was the collector of all the Sinton descendants of the Colorado Springs to the early 1950's, and of Richmond, VA, Pottsville, PA, Louisville, KY, and other lines shown here between 1905 and 1950. Some lines have been updated, corrected, and augmented by people descended in these lines. She started when Walter Lyon Sinton arrived in (1905) town and looked up the name Sinton in the city directory, as he did in every town he visited during his many varied travels. He shared his information and gave Lulu the address of the contacts he had made. They worked together until WLS's death, then until the early 1950's she carried on. She and Ronald Greeves corresponded from 1934 concentrating mainly on the letters and combining the American lines and the Irish lines. Without "Granny" neither the letters nor the genealogy would have survived at all. Lulu (Bell) Sinton, is the only Bell mentioned in this file who is not one of the Quaker Bells of Ireland. Her family is in a different file.

Lulu Bell Sinton wrote a letter, 1931, addressed to: "Joseph Greeves, Flaxspinner, Belfast, Ireland" the answer to which made possible the combination of Irish Greeves family research with this branch of the O'Brien/Greeves/Sinton family information. This expanded the Sinton information already resulting from Walter Lyon Sintons visit in Colorado Springs in 1905 with a basic pedigree and much information of the existence of the Pottsville, Richmond and Louisville Sintons whom he had found on his travels in this country.

Ronald Greeves of Altona, Belfast, writes (1984); "Lulu Elizabeth Sinton (nee Bell) supplied most of the information regarding American Sintons and all that which refers to Sinton, formerly O'Brien. She died many years ago. It was she who collected, from various members of the family, the letters which went from John and Margaret (nee Sinton) Greeves to Anne (nee Greeves) O'Brien and family from 1818 to 1869." Without her efforts, neither the letters nor the genealogy would have survived in this country.

Lulu was active in the Women's Sufferage campaign, WCTU, DAR, Unitarian Church, visitation of the prisons, and the League of Women Voters.
