MATTIE G. BELL KELLO

   Mrs. Mattie Bell Kello, daughter of the late Mrs. Sallie Gillette Bell and 
Robert P. Bell, died Monday evening, February 14, at her home near Courtland, 
after an illness of several years’ duration.  Mrs. Kello was born in Ivor, Va., 
June 21, 1880, where she lived until her marriage to Samuel Thomas Kello of 
the Courtland community in 1904.

   She was a member of Applewhite’s M.E. Church and a faithful attendant upon 
its services and active in many phases of church life.  In the death of one so 
faithful the church and community have sustained a great loss.  By her many 
acts of kindness and generosity she had endeared herself to the church and 
community in which she resided, and her bright, cheerful Christian life during 
her illness, will long be remembered by her many friends and relatives.  She 
leaves to mourn their loss her husband, Samuel Thomas Kello; two sons S.T., 
Jr. and Joseph Earl Kello; her aged father, Robert P. Bell, of Mullins, S.C.; 
one sister, Mrs. T.A. Saunders of Ivor, and a brother, James G. Bell of 
Mullins, S.C.

   She was laid to rest in the Kello family cemetery Wednesday afternoon at 3 
o’clock, a large concourse of friends gathering to pay the last tribute of 
respect.  The body bearers were: Lee Felts, Jesse D. Vick, Ezra W. Davis, 
Willie Rawls, Vernon L. Drake, Dr. J.N. Applewhite, L.T. Saunders and E.L. 
Marks.
