Good Woman Gone
Mrs. Mary Bellew, widow of the late William Bellew, died at the home of her son W. H. Bellew, on route 2, Oneonta, November 7th, 1910. Mrs. Bellew was 74 years of age and had been a member of the Missionary Baptist church at Mt. Carmel for many years. Aunt Polly as her friends called her, was a good woman and her life was a benediction to those around her. She raised a large family of children - four sons and four daughters of whom survive her. The funeral services were held at Antioch church and were conducted by Rev. J. C. Buckner and George F. Hullett; interment at the Glover Graveyard.

"This community lost a good old mother in the death of Aunt Polly Bellew. The writer knew her for an number of years. She numbered her friends by her acquaintances. She was a good Christian lady who wanted everything done right and pleasing in the sight of God. She was always Aunt Polly wherever she was. I would say to the bereaved that while there are those that death can hardly break, weep not for mother, for she has gone to reap the reward that she has been working for so long."
