Lake Odessa Times, 27 Jan 1904

Mrs. John Bell, formerly a resident of this township died at her home in 
Weidman last Thursday evening from the effects of a tumorous cancer, and her 
remains were brought here for burial, yesterday.  The funeral was held at the 
D.B. church, Rev. Scouten officiating, and interment was made in Lakeside 
cemetery.  Mrs. Bell was 68 years of age and was born in Canada, and when 
married went to Oakland county, near Detroit, moving to a farm in the northern 
part of Odessa township a few years later, where her husband died.  About four 
years ago she began to fail in health, but not until a year ago did she tell 
her children what the trouble was and since then she has gradually failed, 
until death released her from her suffering.  We are informed that she leaves 
six daughters, one of whom is Mrs. John Leak of Sebewa, and four sons to mourn 
the loss, all of whom attended the funeral but two sons who are in the west and 
could not get here.  Despite the fact that it was thirteen years ago since she 
left here, a large concourse of friends gathered at the church to hear the last 
sad rites.
