Son of John S. Bell & Sarah Ann Mizner. Never married.
Nov. 27, 1891
Found Dead: Charles Bell, a young man about 18 years of age was found in the pasture field just south of James Hazelwoods restaurant near the Bedford Church last week Friday. He had been at work for Jerry Mizner, who lives on the Solomon Grate place. He had intended making a visit home and Mr. Mizner supposed he had gone home Friday evening and bad weather coming on he did not think it strange that he did not return. His parents not knowing of his intention, supposed he was at Mr. Mizner. The following Friday, Mr. Walter Simonson of Raritan vicinity, while looking after stock in the pasture came upon the body, where it had lain for a week. He notified the neighbors and in time a Coroner's jury was called when the body was removed and Mr. Worley and the inquest was continued. The verdict was his death was caused by heart trouble. The burial occurred here Sunday, religious services conducted by Rev. Pacey.
Obituary:
Charles F.Bell, son of Mr. & Mrs. John S. Bell, was born in Noble Co., Ohio March 25, 1874 and died in a pasture field near LaHarpe of heart disease Nov. 13, 1891 age 17 yrs, 7 mon, 19 days.
The subject of this notice came with his parents to LaHarpe in the spring of 1889. It is said he was industrious, devoted to his parents & of good moral character. He had been working for his cousin, Mr. Jerry Mizner for about 3 weeks. On Friday, Nov. 13, Mr. Mizner wanted to haul fodder & Charlie went with him to Mr. Voorhees to get a rack for that purpose. On returning Mr. Mizner took the team & went by the road & Charlie thought he would walk across a pasture field & meet Mr.Mizner in the cornfield expecting of course to help him to haul fodder. But Charlie never reached the cornfield. The last Mr. Mizner saw of him was in the pasture field, on a little hill & thought he was going home that being his nearest course. But Charlie never started for home, he simply passed on a little way down into a hollow & was seen no more until 1 week later when he was discovered by Mr. Simonson. His remains were conveyed to Mr. Robert Worleys & remained there until after the coroners inquest. A jury impaneled on Sat Nov. 21st, rendered a verdict of heart failure. No blame is attached to anyone. Mr. Mizner thought Charlie had gone home, the parents thought he was at Mr. Mizner's. It was a great shock to the friends & relatives to know that Charlie had fallen in a pasture field all alone, no one, even if needed to minister to his dying request or to receive a parting word from the expiring boy. And to think too, that his remains were lying exposed so long, no one knowing or even thinking of such a catastrophe, only added to the intense grief & sorrow of the bereaved friends & relatives. It is however some consolation to the bereaved that the exposed so long, his remains were not mutilated by birds or beast of prey. In the midst of life the young man has fallen. He has left behind him 4 brothers, 4 sisters, a father & mother, to mourn over his sudden & unexpected death. May the Lord comfort them in this their say affliction.
The funeral services were held on last Sabbath at 2'oclock at the M.P. Church in LaHarpe and the remains interred in LaHarpe cemetery.
