ELIZA JANE BELL. While the church bells were ringing Sunday evening the “Angel of Death” was hovering over the home of one, who was so greatly beloved by the people in and around Chambers.

She passed away at her home in Chambers, where she lived with her daughter, Mrs. Ellen Hubbard, April 6, 1924, at the ad vanced age of 93 years, 7 months and 14 days. Rarely is a life of any one marked by so many deeds of kindness as characterized that of “Grandma Bell.” In the days of her activity there was no call of distress in this community that reached her ears but what found a ready and generous response. Where trouble came she was there as a comforter. WheVe afil^ction fell she appeared as a ministering angel. Surely a good mother has gone to her eternal rest. Remarkably well preserved throughout her four score years and ten the failing of the vital spark became more pronounced within the past two years it was evident that she was approaching the end of her earthly journey. She is survived by three children, B. W. Bell, of Nemo, Soutih Dakota; Ellen J. Hubbard, of Chambers, and Anna M. Lukins, of Tekamah. Thirteen grand children and sixteen great grand children. The funeral was held at the Metho dist church, Tuesday, April 8th, Rev. Carlyon having charge of the services and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Chambers cemetery. “Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds.

This voluntary reduction in lighting rates is made possible by reduced ex penses resulting from our management of this property and also due to our discounting the future in that we believe these reduced rates will increase our volume of business. Our policy is to reduce rates whenever possible, although we expect to maintain rates that will allow us to give the public the very best service possible and yet allow us a fair profit for ourselves. O’Neill is the fourteenth town operated by companies controlled by the W. B. Foshay Co. of Minneapolis that have had their lighting rates voluntarily reduced as of March 1,1924. ^wmmm—mmmmrn — .. .
