Mrs. D. Preston Bell Called by Death.
Mrs. D. Preston Bell, nee Miss Mary Patrick, died at the home of her son, Marion. E. Bell, in Silverton, early Friday morning, after a long period of decline, the immediate cause of her death, however, being apoplexy.
Mrs. Bell was a native of the state of Indiana and was in her 74th year when called. She had been a resident of Colorado for upwards of forty years, coming to this section of the state in advance of the railroad. Her first residence in Colorado was in the Pine River country. She came with her family to Silverton about twenty years ago, and has called this place home for most of the time since her arrival.
Had she lived until February of the next year she would have completed fifty years of married life. Her husband, D. Preston Bell, her son, Marion E. Bell, and daughter, Mrs. Carrie Johnson, and several grand children survive.
Funeral arrangements were not completed as the STANDARD goes to press, though will probably be held from the residence of Marion E. Bell, on Greene street, Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Interment will be in Hillside cemetery by the side a daughter who preceded her twenty years agon to the silent city.
