THOMAS BELL SR.
[Thorold Post, 6 September 1895]
Still another of the old landmarks was removed on Monday in the person of Thos. Bell Sr. who had lived at Thorold for forty-five years. He was a native of Ireland, being born in the county of Fermanagh in 1828. For thirty years he conducted a cooperage business, being the only one to continue of the many who years ago found it a lucrative calling. He left a widow (his third wife) and a family of grown-up children, part of which are married and settled at different points, also a bachelor brother, Walter, who for ten years has been a member of the household. Deceased was a member of the Methodist church, and was a man of upright character, who faithfully discharged all the responsibilities of life. The funeral was held yesterday, the remains being interred at St. Catharines.
