IN MEMORIAM

S. NELSON BELL

On the afternoon of July 2i. the Prgsbyterian Church at Brookfleld was crowded to capacity by sor- rowing neighbors and friends. gathered to pay their last respects to the late Nelson Bell.

The sudden and untimely death fom heart failure of one of its best known and certainly one of its most respected citizens had cast a pail over the community, where his entire life had been spent.

lfis ability to hold as wcll as to make friends was evidenced by the fact that whilc unswerving in his political allegiance he never- theicss numbered among his clos- est friends members of opposing parties.

Although a bachelor his home was ever noted as a meeting place for old and young and his hospit- ality was appreciated by all. His calling as a salesman took him into many homes where his love u.’ children coupled with a natur- ally retentive memory. enabled him to call by name practically every individual in his sectlon'of the country.

His benevolent disposition was such that anyone in need of a favor. great or small, be it the loan of a sum of money. help with the securing of a job for a son or daughter. or only the purchase of nccdful articles, received his cheerful and whoiehearted atten- firm. a

llis tall figure, black moustache and old time courtesy was famil- iar to hosts of persons with whom he come in contact in the half century in which he travelled reg- ularly to and from the city.

Our sympathy goes out to his sister. Mrs. MacDuff. now living in Milton, Mass, and other relatives here and in other parts pf the Do- minion. Col. D. N. Bell of this City and Mrs. George Dockendorfl of York Point are nephew and niece of the deceased.
