"Aunt" Tellie Belt, 83 years of age, for more than 40 years a resident of Eufaula, died at her home here Wednesday night after an illness of several years.
Graduating from the University of Arkansas, she came to Eufaula in 1898 and was for several years a teacher in the public schools of the town.
An invalid for the past 15 years, she had been confined to her home the greater part of the time. In the early part of her life spent here, she took an active part in church and civic affairs and devoted much of her time to the upbuilding of the community.
Funeral services at the Eufaula cemetery will be held this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock under the direction of the Kelley Funeral home with the Rev. Haskell Hammer, retired Baptist minister, officiating.
Pallbearers are T. P. Collie, Dave Burdine, Roscoe Horn, George Hubble, D. M. Whitaker and Walter Sanger.

Artelle A. King Belt
"The subject of this sketch is the second daughter of Rev. E. W. King, a leading citizen of Sebastian County, Arkansas. Miss Artelle, was born October, 1857, in Greenwood, Arkansas, and attended common school until the age of fifteen, after which she entered the Industrial University at Fayetteville, attending seven years, and graduating in the classical and normal courses in June, 1880. Being well adapted for teaching, Miss Artelle King taught school for two years in Hackett, Arkansas, and while there obtained the admiration and affection of her pupils, and indeed, all with whom she came in contact. During her stay in Hackett, Miss King became acquainted with J. C. Belt, and they were married at Fort Smith, Arkansas, December 1883. After marriage Mrs. Belt gave up teaching, and has since helped her husband in the mercantile business. Mrs. Belt is a highly accomplished and most fascinating young woman, of great refinement and amiability of disposition. Ever zealous for the right, she is a stanch friend to the temperance cause, and all other measures and means tending to the moral elevation of mankind."
