Obituary – Permelia Bell was born in Xenia, Green county, Ohio, June 22, 1812. Was married to William Shoemaker May 19, 1831 and moved with her family to Louisa county, Iowa, 1839.
Was left a widow Feb. 14, 1846, with two daughters and three sons. Was married to Morton Brown, Aug. 3, 1847, who died in 1855, leaving two little boys.
After living 26 years on the same farm, she moved to Page county with her daughter and son-in-law, John Beam, with whom she has made her home ever since.
She had been a devoted Christian for 50 years, having united with the Church of God in Louisa county. There being no church of that denomination here she united with no other, but the Bible was her everyday study.
Her death was caused from a tumor. She bore her suffering without a murmur and patiently but anxiously awaited the summons home.
She died Friday, May 8, 1891, at 9 o’clock p. m. and the funeral was from the home of John Beam, Sunday, May 10, at 2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. Thos. Wallace.
She leaves six children, a number of grandchildren and a host of kind friends to mourn her loss. All her children were with her the last few weeks but one son who lives in Washington. Four of them, Mrs. John Beam, J. [asper] W. [illiam] Shoemaker, Mrs. I. G. Shepard, of San Francisco, and C.[harles] H. Shoemaker, of Salt Lake City, were with her in her last moments
