Gladwin County Obituary:
Mrs. Thomas Shell

   Beatrice, wife of Thomas Shell, passed away Wednesday morning, April 4, 1923,
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clayton Southwell.

   She was born in Holdimond county, Ontario, Jan. 16, 1859, and had attained
the age of 64 years, 2 months and 19 days. She left Canada at the age of three
years with her parents to make her home in Sanilac county, where she grew to
womanhood. She was united in marriage to Thos. Shell, Sept. 27, 1879. To this
union were born 12 children, four of whom died in infancy. In the fall of 1886,
she with her husband and three children moved to Gladwin county, where she
thereafter made her home. During a revival held at Hockaday by William Marvin
she gave her heart to God and lived a consistent Christian life to the end. She
was always of a cheerful disposition and was a friend to everyone with whom she
came in contact. Her husband has lost a devoted wife and the family a kind and
loving mother, but what is our loss is her eternal gain, for God saw fit to call
her home where her suffering and toil is ended. On October 29, 1922, she was
taken with a paralytic stroke and was confined to her bed 11 weeks. But since
that time she had been improving in health until the time of her death which
came very suddenly.

   She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, five sons, Dennis, Will, Earl
and Ray of Gladwin and Carl of Pontiac; three daughters, Mrs. Aaron Putnam of
Bay City, Mrs. Amandus Soldan of Flint and Mrs. Clayton Southwell of Gladwin; 23
grandchildren; one brother, David Glendenning; one sister, Mary J. Brown, and a
host of other relatives and friends.

   "A place is vacant in our home which never can be filled."
