Mr , H. Boll PAeeos Aay
The St. Marys Journal of last week
says y OE the heroic men and
women
who were the original settlers
ere of this'
section of country scant few remain.
The years roll by and the faces fade
and cue by one in the .dust are laid.
In the stern disciplinary battle with
the rugged forces of nature, those
early pioneers gained not alone
material wealth but a treasure of
greater value. In the sterling
character and noble example of their
fathers and mothers the succeeding
generation have an Inheritance more
•greatly to be prized. Another of
ilanshard's oldest and worthiest
settlers passed away on Sunday at
the Home of her danghtee, Mrs. Geo.
Stacey, Wellington street, St. Marys,
in the person of Margaret Jane Nes-
bitt, relict of the late Henry Bell,
aged 86 years, 5lnonths and 16 days.
Death was due• to a general breaking
up which comes with ripened years.
Mrs. Bell had an attack of pneumonia
iu February, sine's e
which time
y she
had
been confined to her bed. Two weeks
ago a stroke of paralysis hastened the
end.
The late Mts.Bell was born in the
County Tyrone, Ireland, in 1827.
She camo'to this continent with her
husband, settling first for a year at
Philadelphia, then coaling to this
district and locating on the River
Road, Blanshard, on the farts now
owned by the late Thos. Woods'
family. It was on a farm purchased
a few years later on the Town litre
Blanshard and Fullerton that Mrs.,
Bell spent
almost the res •
tel portion
b
x ton
P
of her life, Ee The
.husband
and
wife
faced together
t e e
b ail t
vicissitudes
y 8
of pioneer life, a family of ten grow-
ing up around thorn, of whom seven
still survive, The husband and
father passed to his reward in 1881,
aged 58 years, For the Met fifteen
years Mrs. Bell has made her home
with her daughter,,Mrs. Stacey, first
at Hibbert and Ortehugford and for
the last seven years in St, Marys.
'The deceased was a, woman of fine
eharacter and a contented mind. Der
