T. J. Bell Funeral Services Held At Community Church Saturday
Funeral services for T. J. Bell, prominent Lacrosse business man, were held at the Community Methodist Church Saturday, conducted by Rev. C. T. Herford of Steptoe. The obituary follows:
Theodore Jackson Bell was norn in Tacoma, Washington on January 8 , 1890, and died in Colfax, Washington on June 17, 1942 at the afe of 52 years. He is survived by Theodore Jackson Bell Jr. of the United States Navy and Travis F Bell of Seattle, Washington.
Ted as he was affectionately known by all, lived a full life, always assisting and helping his fellow man. No job was too tough - no problem too hard, he never passed the "buck." He never expected anyone to do anything hazardous which he himself would not do. When ther was a pole to be climbed and "hot wires" to be handled Ted would expose himself to the danger and not expect some one else to do that job.
Ted lived and died a part of Lacrosse. There was no one who had more community spirit nor a greater desire to see the community prosper and go forward than Ted. If a person gave him a job to do you could rest assured that it would be done. He was an indefatigable worker for his buisness and for his community. Lacross will truly miss him.
Ted came to Lacrosse in 1915 and built up with the community, starting with a small shop in back of the picture house, then expanding to the shop by the City Hall. From there he moved to the present location of his modern and up-to-date electrical shop, and he built this buisness and his equipment un he ahd one of the most complete repair shops in the Inland Empire.
Among the offices held by him he was Master of Lacrosse Blue Lodge, High Priest of the Chapter for two years, President of the Lacrosse Community Club, President of the Whitman County Sportsman Association and Director of the Washington Electrical Contractor's Association.
Ted was an unceasing worker in all endeavors of the Sportmen and their organizations throughout the Inland Empire. He served as chairman and was an active member for many years of the Whitman Country Sportsman's Association and was always an active leader or participant in the programs of the organization. He was the guiding head of the Lacrosse Community Sportsman's group and derived more pleasure than any member from the work and successes of the oranization.
As an appointive member of the State Game Department, his work as a propagator of birds and fish has been recognized throughout the State. Because of the intense interest he had in all things for the pleasure of all sportsmen, it was radiated as a part of Ted and his creed of life "A True Sportsman"
