Hon. James d. Bell died suddenly
Sunday night, the 9Th inst, at his home
in Walden. Judge Bell was at church
and at Sabbath-school as usual during
the day, and those who saw him remark
ed that he seemed in more than usua
health and spirits. He was an agec
man and in the decline of his physica
powers, but his robust form had wei
withstood the ravages of time, and tn,
announcement of his death caused {;
shock in the community of which he haC
for more than half century been ;
leading and influential character. Judg
Bell had filled many important publi
offices. His name was known and hi
influence felt beyond the town and coun
ty in which he resided. He was
staunch advocate of any cause which b
championed and his influence and &C
tive labors were freely given to tn
cause of religion, temperance and hu
manity. He had keen wit and live
ly appreciation of humor. His fond
ness for joke and quickness at reparte
will be pleasantly remembered by thos
with whom his sturdy qualities of hea
and heart made him a counsellor and
leader. He was one of those patriarcha
characters around whom centers tn
social, moral and religious interests of
community. in whom its members cor
fde. and to whom they entrust thei
affairs, and he never proved faithles
counselor or betrayed trust. Th
community around Walden and Hare
wick. as well as his friends everywhere
will sincerely mourn his loss. Watcj
man.
