The Cairo Messenger, Friday, December 20, 1918
Robert A. Bell Victim Of Pneumonia

The people of Cairo have been very greatly aroused and grieved during the past 
week over the illness and death of their friend, Robert A. Bell.  After ten 
days suffering from influenza-pneumonia, he died at his home here Tuesday 
afternoon about four o'clock.

Mr. Bell with his estimable family moved here from Webster County about ten 
years ago.  He has been actively engaged in the turpentine business here, being 
the largest turpentine operator in this section.  He was a very progressive 
business man.

"Bob" as he was addressed by his friends, possessed many admirable traits of 
character.  He was always in the best of humor, having a cheerful word for 
everybody and so often a hearty laugh as he chatted by the wayside.  His host 
of admirers will miss his pleasant greetings.

He was 46 years of age, a member of the Baptist church, Masons, Knights of 
Pythias and Woodmen of the World

Besides his widow, he leaves for sons and four daughters; the sons are: Walter 
C. Bell of Bainbridge, Arthur Bell of West Point, N.Y.; Bryan and Clifford Bell 
of Cairo; his daughters are: Mesdames A. C. Roddenbery and F. A. Richter, Jr., 
and Misses Janie and Mildred Bell of Cairo.  He is also survived by three 
brothers and one sister: H. F. Bell of Macon, Dr. F. E. Bell of Sylvester, 
Solicitor R. C. Bell of Cairo, and Mrs. George E. Hart of Sylvester.

The funeral and burial services were held Thursday morning at 11:30 o'clock in 
the local cemetery.  Rev. J. G. Christian assisted by Rev. J. B. Wight, 
conducted the services.

May the goodness of His grace comfort the hearts of these bereaved ones.
