Oskaloosa Independent, 18 July 1891
After years of suffering and helplessness, Mrs. Sarah Ann Bell, one of Oskaloosa's oldest residents, died last Saturday, the 11th inst., in the 74th year of her age. On Sunday the services were held at the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. Mr. Boyd, and a large procession of friends and acquaintances followed the remains to Pleasant View. Mr. Bell, who died in 1860, was a Cumberland Presbyterian preacher. The family settled in this county, near Oskaloosa, in 1856, and removed to town after the death of Mr. Bell.--Beside the three children here--William, Iwin and Dora--two others are still living, Elvin Bell and Abbie Heil. Mrs. Bell was a good Christian woman, and bore her years of suffering with fortitude and patience, much of the time in an almost blind and deaf condition. Her death must have come as a great relief to the tired and worn body.
