Died:
Mrs. John Bell -
As we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs. John Bell, High Street. The deceased lady was born in Scotland, and came to this country with the early settlers. Her husband died many years ago. For thirty years or more she has been an invalid and for nearly twenty years has not been able to leave her bed. Her maiden name was Margaret Wilson and she was a sister of Mr. A. Wilson Sr., of Appleton. She was probably the oldest living female citizen of Carleton Place and her death removes another of the old landmarks. Mr A.W. Bell, our well known townsman, is a son, and another son, Mr. George Bell, is in the civil service at Ottawa. Miss Mary Bell, who has been a companion for her mother all her life, is the only daughter residing here. The interment will be made in the family burial plot at Perth.
Carleton Place Herald, Nov 8. 1898
