Aunt Athia Bell, widow of Geo. Bell, died Monday at the home of her son, Newt Bell, who lives east of Earlham in Dallas county.

Burial was held Thursday at Blair Chapel, near the deceased's former home.

Mr. and Mrs. Bell were among the pioneer settlers of the county, moving here from Ohio in the early fifties. Their first homestead was located on what is now the John Bruce farm in Crawford township and Mr. Bell was afterwards the owner of the old grist mill on Middle River.

Mrs. Bell was a most estimable christian woman and was spared to her friends and relatives to the ripe old age of eighty-five years.
