SHERIDAN PIONEER CALLED TO REWARD
Mrs. Thomas K. Bell Passes From This Life Last Friday. Funeral Held Tuesday.
Another of Sheridan’s pioneers, Mrs. Thos. K. Bell, passed to her reward last Friday evening, and in that passing has left behind a never dying memory of a life of love and devotion whose spirit still hovers o’er those so near and dear to her by ties of affection. The fond companion, so faithful to the journey’s end sustained by his unfaltering faith in God proclaims his hope in- the words of the song so often her lips had sung: “I'll stand the storm, it won’t be long, I’ll anchor by and by," but until that moment comes rests assured of comfort and strength of a faithful affection of his children.
Margaret Lawson Wallace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallace, ot Dundee, Scotland, was born August 12th, 1848. At the age of nine, she with her parents, sailed for America, making Montreal Canada, their home. Later they moved to Bothwell, Ont, where January 9th, 1867, she was united in marriage to Thos. K. Bell To this happy union twelve children were born, three sons and nine daughters, ten of whom, with the aged husband, survive.
Mr. and Mrs. Bell with their family, have spent the past forty-four years in Michigan, most of these years being spent at their home in Sheridan township. January 9th of this year marked the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage.
Sweetly resigned to God’s will, life s armor was laid down Friday evening, January 14th, 1927, at the rjpe age of 78 years, 5 months and 2 days.
Walking in reverence God Humbly with Thee,
Yet from all object fear Lovingly free.
E’en as a friend with friend.
Cheered to the Journey’s end Walking with Thee.
Those of the family who were present at the funeral, which was held from the home Tuesday, January 18th, Rev, A. P. MacDonald officiating, were Mr, and Mrs. Thos. R. and Mr, and Mrs. John Bell, of Sheridan; Mrs. F. C. Merriam and Mrs. Wm. G. Raul, of Pontiac; Mrs. A, L. Samson, of Chicago; Mrs, G. G. Drake, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Pyez and Mrs. J. S. Barter, of Detroit; Mrs. E. G. Teeter, of Glen Ellen, Ill.; and Mr. and Mrs, C. C. Knapp, of Flint. Besides these there are left to mourn their loss fifteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
