Harry Waters Bell
Died at The Home of His Sister, Miss Ella Scott, on Lincoln Avenue
 
  Harry W. Bell died at 3 o'clock Friday morning, at the home of his 
sister, Miss Ella Scott, with whom himself and wife have made their 
home the past two years.  He had not been well for a year, but was 
seriously ill only about two weeks.  He suffered from congestion of the 
lungs, the result of a severe cold contracted recently.  He was aged 48 
years, 10 months and 8 days.  Harry Waters Bell was the son of Captain 
James Bell and Elizabeth Bell.  His father, who was a leaning citizen 
of Tyrone in the town's early days, died, December 31, 1874.  His 
mother died in the year 1880.  The deceased was born in Warriors Mark 
Township, Huntingdon, County, Pa., near what is now known as Stover's 
Station, about three miles front Tyrone.  When he was two years old, 
the family became residents of this place, where Harry grew to young 
manhood.  After that, he resided in Philadelphia for about 22 years, 
and later lived in Chicago the two years just prior to coming here to 
reside the second time.  On May 20, 1893, Harry W. Bell and Miss Mary 
B. Buch were united in marriage at Philadelphia.  Mrs. Bell survives 
her husband, as do two brothers and one half sister, viz: James Bell, 
of Williamsport; Thomas Bell, of Altoona, and Miss Ella Scott, of 
Tyrone.  Harry Bell will be best remembered by those who were his 
school mates in Tyrone, more than thirty years ago, as a quick, apt and 
promising school boy.  In Philadelphia, he was connected with a 
wholesale drug house, for which he traveled much and handled a large 
trade.  He continued in the same business after removing from 
Philadelphia to Chicago.  The funeral was held Monday.  Services at the 
home at 10.30 o'clock in the forenoon, by Reverend J. H. Daugherty and 
Reverend George Warren.  Interment at Tyrone Cemetery.
