DEATH OF JOHN F. BELL
Popular Young Man Passed Away Early
Monday Morning.

John F. Bell, who has been
ill for several weeks, passed
away at the home of his
mother near this city early
Monday morning. Spinal men
ingitis was the cause of his
death. He was taken sick
some weeks ago and at one
time seemed on the road to re-
covery, when he suffered a re-
lapse and soon his condition be-
came serious.
He was born at the Bell farm
near Bottineau, March %, 1889,
and was in his twenty-6rst year
art the time of his death. He
was brought up in this COM
munity and his first employ
nent was with the Northern
Telephone company, first as
operator and later as a memb Der
of the clerical force. About
two years ago he became clerk
in the office of the register of
deeds, where he was employed
until his illness.
His father died in 1902 but he
is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Vim. Bell, two brothers-Wil-
liam and George a sister,
Miss Dora Bell of Bismarck.
The funeral services were
held Wednesday morning at St.
Mark 8 church and the the re-
mains inferred in Oak Creek
cemetery. The Bottineau Mil
itary band, of which the deced-
ent was a member, attended
the services and marched at the
head of the funeral cortege.
John Bell was one of the
most highly esteemed young
men in Bottineau. Of quiet,
unassuming disposition, hi IS
manliness and uniform courtesy
had won him a host of friends,
who mourn his untimely death.
The sorrowing ones have the
sympathy of all.
