At the services held from the home on East 6th street, Sunday, June 10th, conducted by Reverend A. B.

Four of the oldest grandsons, namely, E. F. Kaul, Wallace W. Bell, Harold and Merle Merriam acted as pallbearers. Interment was made in Cherry Grove cemetery.
Mr. Bell, with his family came to Michigan more than forty-live years ago; the majority of these years being spent in Clare county, Sheridan township, where he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
We cannot say, and we will not say
That he is dead—He is just away.
With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land,
We think of him faring oil, as dear In the love of
There, as the love of here.
Think of him still as the same; we say,
He is not dead—he is Just away. (The Clare Sentinel, p. 1 - Clare, MI - 15 June 1928)
