                      Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Bell

Died at her home, near Clem, in this county on the morning of the 24th of 
January 1897, Mrs. Elizabeth Caldwell Bell, consort of the late James Bell.  
She was born in Meriwether county, August 4th, 1820, and was married to Jas. 
Bell, September 5th, 1844.  About sixteen years ago, this couple moved to 
Carroll county, and ever since have made it their home.  This union was blessed 
with eleven children, of whom five sons and two daughters are still living, and 
all of them, with one execption, are residents of out county.

For sixty years or more, sister Bell has been a faithful member of the 
Presbyterian church, and the hope of the christian was hers.  During the calm 
and holy quite of the Sabbath, her spirit took its flight to be reunited, as 
she expressed it before her death, with that of her husband, who departed this 
life, just four months and eleven days ago.

Bro. Jas Bell and wife won, by their upright conduct, the esteem and respect, 
of all who knew them.  Sister Bell was a devoted wife and faithful mother, and 
up to the last urged her children to lead righteous lives.

" Servent of God, well done, rest from thy Loved employ:
  Sufferings over, the crown is won, Enter the Master's joy."
  let me die the death of the righteous, let my last end be like his."
                  
                                             Pastor
                                        Jan 27, 1897
