Aged Lady Was Relict of Late Captain John M. Kell and Last Representative of 
Distinguished Family.

Mrs. Blanche Monroe Kell died at home "Kellton" at 10 o'clock Thursday night

member of St. George Episcopal church in this city, from which the funeral 
will be held at 5 o'clock this afternoon.  The interment will be made in Oak
