Being requested,  I shall write a short obituary of Grandma Bell and Mrs.

IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. MARY BELL

Departed this life on the morning of the 14th of February, 1882, Mrs. Mary 
Bell, aged one hundred years. She was a daughter of Shadric and Mary Rodgers. 
Mrs. Bell was born in South Carolina in the year of our Lord, 1782. She was 
married to John Bell when she was sixteen years of age and emigrated from 
South Carolina to Tennessee and from thence to Coweta county, Georgia where she
remained until 1855, when she came to Carroll county with her son-in-law, Mr. 
J.A. Boatright. 

Mrs. Bell was the mother of 9 children, all of whom are dead but two. She 
united to the Primitive Baptist church in the state of Tennessee some 70 years 
ago, and she was always found on the side of right. She was a good wife, 
mother and christian. She always was remarkable for her pious walk.
