Mrs. Bell passed to her rest October 21, 1894.
Mr. Bell had been a farmer all his life on the same place, which he has greatly improved and made it yield abundant crops. He had a pleasant and comfortable home, four miles south of Borden, on the Greenville Road, his land being located in Section 22.
George had been Assessor of Wood Township for five years, giving entire satisfaction to his constituents in this capacity. He had also held some other minor offices in the township. He was a Democrat and a member of the Christian church at Pleasant Ridge. He was known as a man of honesty, industry, and force of character, and he had many friends in this county.
