Lewistown Sentinel - Apr 14, 2023
Charles E. “Charlie” Bell, 89, passed away at Valley View Nursing Home on Wednesday,
April 12, 2023. He was the husband of the late Margaret V. (Gerlock) Bell before her
passing in 2019.
Born on Dec. 15, 1933, in Lewistown, he was a son of the late Mary Helen (Laub) and
William K. Bell, Sr. After graduating from Lewistown High School, Charlie joined the
U.S. Navy and served on the Willis A. Lee from 1956-1957 during the Korean Conflict.
One attribute about Charlie was that he was a perfectionist and it showed in his
work. He went on to work with his brother, Bill, doing Carpentry and Masonry work
for their business, Bell Brother’s Construction. Later, he worked for the Viscose
and was an inspector at Ford New Holland before retiring in 1991. During his free
time, Charlie enjoyed woodworking, hunting, and baseball.
In 1954, while on a hunting trip with John and Albert Dubendorf, the three
discovered loot, consisting of pennies, that had been from the 1909 great train
robbery in Hawstone.
Charlie leaves behind his son, John Bell, of Reedsville; sisters-in-law, Patricia
Freed Bell and Joyce Stimely Bell of Lewistown, and brother-in-law, Stephen Gerlock,
of New Jersey. In addition to his wife and parents, Charlie is preceded in death by
son, Thomas C. Bell; brothers, Robert J. Brady, James Bell, Walter Bell, and William
K. “Bill” Bell, Jr., and sisters, Nancy Dubendorf and Erma Bell.
A viewing will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, 2023 at King-Barr
Funeral Home LLC, 120 Logan Street, Lewistown. A Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. on
Monday, April 17, 2023 at Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish with Father William Weary
