The remains were interred in Elmwood Cemetery,the following being the pall-bearers: Episcopal Church, Frederick S. Taylor and W.T. Walke; Supreme Council, Royal Arcanum, Legh R. Watts, of Portsmouth; Confederate Veterans, Col. Washington Taylor; Pocahontas Council, , Royal Arcanum, Frank I. Bain and H.B. Bagnall; Heptarophs, Col. Harry Hodges; Home Circle, J.P. Kevill.
An incident of the floral offerings was connected with the floral tribute of the cadets of St. Mary's Male Academy. Mr. Bell had frequently shown his friendship for the cadets, and his death was deeply lamented by them. They had a very beautiful floral design prepared, representing a pillow,with the words "At Rest" and the initial of the battalion. A detachment of the cadets, consisting of Edward Kenee Glennan, John Love and John Drew, in uniform, placed the tribute on the bier of their friend.
