Emory Bell, Jr. Passes In Miami On Nov. 9, Rites Set Augustus Emory Bell, Jr., 64, of Miami, who spent most of his early life in Cairo, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 9, in a nursing home there, following an illness which had lingered since last March. He was an older brother of Elmer H. Bell, Sr., well-known druggist and churchman who passed away here Oct. 25. The latter had visited the former only about 10 days before he himself was stricken fatally ill here. The ill Miami brother could not be told of his Cairo brother's unexpected passing. Emory Bell, who would have been 64 on Nov. 10, was born at Climax in 1902, the son of the late Augustus Emory and Alice Herring, and moved to Cairo with his parents as a young boy. He had been a resident of the Miami area for 35 years, having moved there from Cairo in 19221. He was associated in a road construction firm there until his final illness forced his retirement. Final rites will be in Miami at 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at one of the chapels of Lithgow Funeral Centers, Miami, and interment will follow there. Survivors include his wife and five sisters, Mrs. R. Byran Bell, Atlanta, Miss Leta Bell, Quitman, Mrs. K. F. Leddick and Mrs. Earl U. Brinson, Cairo, and Mrs. Worth Barron, Rockledge, Fla.
