Ill. in 1841 and come to this county in 1845 and has resided here since. He was married to Isabel Wathen in 1865, to this union two children were born James O. Bell who survives with the bereaved widow and Mrs. Daisy West who died 3 years ago. Mr. Bell had a strong influence in the public life of the community.
He held positions of public trust and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of all who knew him. While not a member of any church he was known to favor the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination and ever ready al all times to aid and support his home church.
He and his wife have both been in failing health for the past five years. Mrs. Bell having had a stroke of paralysis three years ago. Mr. Bell never thinking of his own failing health had constantly watched over and care for Mrs. Bell until the day of his demise He was stricken with apoplexy about 9 o'clock Wednesday and died at 2 the same day. He and Mrs. Bell had often talked together as to which one of them would be the first to pass to that great beyond where no more suffering and sorrow is known. He is not dead, this friend not dead, but in the path we mortals tread, gone some few trifling steps ahead, and nearer to the end so that we too, once past the bend, Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend, we fancied dead.
