mates-my chum. There were none
like Johnny Bell We sat together
in school, we studied and recited in
the same class; rOamed the hills to-
gether; a David and Johnathan bond
of friendship, that remained un-
broken. But he possessed and main
tanned a decided advantage over
the writer. He graded 100 pecent
in his studies and department. The
rod of correction was seldom, If
ever, pointed at him,-a pupil with
out peer, model or a shadow in
that old district school. But early
in youth we were separated. His
parents moved to another commun-
ity, and later to Morgan county,
where they resided until taken by
death. But we never lost the trail;
the editor and readers are doubt
less aware of that, since the numer-
Gus times in our news letters we
have made mention of his name. We
call him Johnny" the old COM
munity never knew him by anything
else. We feel that this little tribute
to his memory would not be COM
plete if no reference was made to
/ the parents and his family. He
married his wife, Minnie Hancher,
and raised his family in Bristol
township, and our acquaintance
was only slight, but we understand
that they stood high in the estima-
tion Of the community.
We think the parents came from
Pennsylvania Mrs Bell was twice
married Her first husbands name
was Singer, and there were at least
Innnocn6 To
Johnny's father, was a man of few
words In early life he had been
steamboat engineer When he left
the river and came to the farm, he
remodeled his house (where Johnny
was born) to resemble a steamboat.
His occupation as an engineer had
made him somewhat evasive, re.
ticent. This fact had to be taken
i into consideration to fully under
stand his well meant intentions.
Overtaken by an accidental death
/ perhaps only a few of the Morgan
county people made his acquaint-
ance. If ever there was a good,
kind hearted Christian woman, and
there are many, Mrs. Bell was one Of
them She must have come from a
strictly Puritan family. The tragic
/ QedIn OF u6T uuSDduu, Wucu lIViuS
on what we would call the Barclay
farm in Bristol township, was too
much for her rather frail constitu-
tion,-it partially dethroned her
reason. The dust Of the father and
mother repose in the Sharon ceme-
| terry.
AS we think of the little valley
where Johnny's life began, where
rivulets and rills mingle their crys-
tai waters to form the stream that
afforded him SO much pleasure, it
seems quite fitting that his last days
were spent where the same waters,
in a greater volume, flow on their
onward course to the great "Father
of Waters" to finally unite with the
vast deep. 1t is our prayer that our
dear departed friend had so OWNED
his life that his soul will take it's
course to the great ocean of Gods
boundless love and he will hear the
welcome plaudit of Him whose
voice still rings above the tumult
of this present troubled, and unset
tied world, Il am the resurrection
and the life; he that believeth in
me, though he were dead, yet shall
| he live" Johnny, your eyes are
| closed to all scenes here below
| fare thee well.-Silas Thorla

for trip to Lancaster, where we
had supper, then back to Bremen,
where we were taken to the hotel
where we spent the night. After
breakfast we returned to the plant
where we stayed until 1:30 p. M,
with time off for dinner. We feel
we have a good writeup of the
cheese business. Everyone was kind
and willing to help us get the story.
We find that our schools are becom-

of the Pennsville school was there

THE PASSING OF JOHNNY BELL

1t was late afternoon on the 18th
day of April. We were on our way
to the old home at Renrock. Our
mind was constantly reverting to
one solemn thought 1t was the
third anniversary of the day whom
our departed companion for life
looked upon the sun in its down
ward course for the last time.-be-
loEe Us rising she nad passed into
: aim Of the spirit world The
wisest of all men of old said there
was a time for everything,-a time
(Ecclesiastes 81 and the latter was
one of the times. Two men, Will
ford Hancher and Vernon Christ
man met US. The tidings they bore
added to our already depressed
spirit; Johnny Bell was dead. He
was my boon companion. my seat
mate in the days of our youth at the
old Smith school, Only a few min
utes before we had passed by the
old Bell home on the head waters of
Meigs creek, where Johnny first saw
the light of day.
We could easily visualize him as
lad fishing under the shade of
the willows that once lined the
banks. Now after more than three
score and ten years he passes into
the Great Beyond, miles away on the
banks of the same stream. A
notable author in the old McGuffey
Fifth likens life to the current of a
river. Starting with the murmur-
ings of little brook and ever wild
ening until we lose sight of land,
and our further voyage, there is no
witness but the Infinite and Eternal.
Our mind was not prepared for
Johnny's death. We We're think ing
OF him as we think of ourself,-not
old or infirm. Had these messengers
told us that they had left him sit
ting on the bank fishing, we would
have replied, "Just as we expected" !"

of that last chapter in human life,

our immediate family, is one of the
saddest. The reason is obvious. He
