OBITUARY.
David Bell was born in Westmore-
land county, Pennsylvania of David
P. and Sarah J. Bell, September 10,
1875. He died near Oskaloosa, Iowa,
Sunday afternoon, September 20, 1901,
aged 26 years and IA days. The child
hood and early school days of the de-
ceased were spent in West Newton,
Pa, and the county of his birth.
When still in boyhood he came to
Oskaloosa at the solicitation oeahis
law, James Porter, and
entered his employ in the grocery
store of Cruzen & Porter living at the
home of his sister. He followed Mr..
Porter through several business
changes, and was employed with Por-
ter and later with Yenney & Deck.
He left this firm to enter the employ
of the Iowa Telephone Company and
his rise here was very rapid from the
bottom of the work to the top. At the
time of his death there was not q
young man on the service who stood
higher in the estimation of the con-
pany than he, and he was slated for
hat hi hnV.
of the Oskaloosa fire company and
one of the best fire fighters enrolled
with the department. In this, as in
all his work, he was always foremost
in what was being done, and others
naturally gave him leadership that he
so naturally assumed. A brief funeral
service was held at the residence OF
the sister, Mrs. James Porter, on
| North A street, at $3.50 O'Clock Mon
day afternoon, at which the friends
of the deceased and the family were
gathered. There were many beautiful
aud elaborate floral tributes to the
deceased, and notable among these
were the offerings of the fire company
and the telephone people. The body
was taken to the old home in Penn
sylvania, departing Tuesday morning
at 7 O'Clock via the Rock Island, and
the funeral will be held in his home
town, West Newton, and interment
made there. During the march from
the late residence to the train the fire
bell was tolled and the fire company
accompanied the remains as an escort
of honor. The death is one of the
saddest that has occurred in the city
for some time and a gloom is cast over
all the acquaintance and the near
friends of the young man. He was
popular wherever he was known on
account Of his sunny disposition and
his good-natured ways, no matter
what circumstances surrounded him.
The family and friends of the deceased
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
