Death of Elbert M. Bell
Elbert M. Bell, aged 30 years and six days, died at an early hour Tuesday morning, after an illness lasting about three years. He was not confined to his room during much of that time and it was only Sunday that he became so weak the last time that he was forced to his bed. He knew his disease was incurable; it was an affectation of the blood. He was born in Galena, Lewis county, Missouri. He leaves one brother, Elmer Bell, residing at Payette.
The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Baptist church, Rev. A. F. White, assisted by Rev. Davidson, officiating. The funeral was under the auspices of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Woodmen of the World.
