[From the Sylvan Grove correspondent.]
After five days of anxiety Arthur Bell arrived home with the body of his father last Thursday noon. Mr. Bell died in the Indian Territory on the morning of March 9. He was sick only a short time, and died of hemorrhage of the bowels. He was buried there, when Arthur, his son, received a telegram to bring the body home. He had the body raised and prepared for shipment and came on with it. The order of the A.O.U.W. (of which Mr. Bell was a member) met the body at the train and took charge of it, and by request of the family took charge of the funeral. The funeral sermon was preached on Saturday afternoon by Rev. H.C. Bradbury, in the Presbyterian church [at Sylvan]. A large crowd was in attendance. On Sunday morning 14 of the A.O.U.W.s took the body and started to the Elkhorn (or Hammer) cemetery, 24 miles away. On arriving at Lincoln a large number of A.O.U.W.s and friends joined the procession and proceeded to the cemetery, where the last remains of Bentley Bell were interred with the A.O.U.W. burial services.
