The Weekly Pilgrim, vol. V, no. 24, June 16, 1874, p. 191:
"SELL -- In the Hamilton congregation, Caldwell county, Mo., May 14, 1874, our much beloved sister R. Frances Sell, consort of brother Daniel B. Sell, and daughter of Eld. George and Elizabeth Witwer, aged 22 years and 4 days. Disease, a complication of fevers and erysipelas in the face. The subject of this notice was one among our exemplary youths. Over half of her one score and two years, were faithfully devoted to the service of her devine Master; and even previous to her enlistment under her Immanuel's banner, remarkable traits of piety were observed, and she not only bore her afflications of eight days with christian patience and resignation, but alsoleft with her bereaved friend, the strongest and brightest evidence of a bright anticipation of a glorious immortality. She bade all around her a 'farewell,' and fell asleep in apparent perfect peace. She leaves behind to mourn their loss an affectionate husband and two infant children. Oh! ye unregenerate, who are yet without such a hope, and without God in the world; is not this a history desirable to be affixed to your obituary, when you have gone to reap your reward. Funeral occasion improved by brother Daniel B. Gibson and the writer, Rev. 14:13, to a large concourse of sympathizing friends. C. C. Root."
