Arlington Journal
A Good Citizen Dead.
W. J. Bell, a highly respected man of middle age, died Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock after an illness of two or three days.
Mr. Bell was well-known and highly respected. He was a man that had been very successful in business at other places, having acquired considerable property. Since coming to Arlington he has never engaged in any business. For some time he has been talking of going into business here, but being a very careful man he kept waiting and watching for some favorable opportunity.
He was a very useful member of the church and of the lodges to which he belonged, especially the W. O. W. lodge of which he was secretary. He was one of the most faithful and devoted members of the Baptist church, always present and ready to do his part, especially in music, of which he used to be a teacher. Few men got more out of their religion than did brother Bill.
Funeral services were held at the family residence by his pastor, Rev. M. C. Jackson, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, after which the remains, followed by a long train of sorrowing friends and relatives, were interred in the Arlington cemetery.
He leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter.
