WALTER BELL
[Welland Tribune, 10 April 1906]
It was with most sincere regret that a wide circle of friends in Thorold and vicinity heard of the death on Wednesday morning in Toronto of Walter Bell, only surviving brother of the late Thomas Bell, and a gentleman well known and highly esteemed by Thorold people generally. The deceased, who was the last of a family of four boys and one sister, was in his eighty-second year at the time of his death, but despite his advanced age was singularly active. He was a man of the highest honour and this quality coupled with his____with all who came within range of his acquaintance. He was a native of White Hill Chapel, County of Fermanagh, Ireland, but came to Canada in 1849 and with his mother settled in Toronto. He later entered the employ of a resident of Little York and remained there for thirty-three years. For the past twenty-three years he has lived in Thorold. A man of strong and robust constitution his health was all that could be desired until about a year ago, since which time he has been ailing. Last fall he went to Toronto on a visit to his niece, Mrs. Elder at whose home at 65 McGee Street, he passed away having been seriously ill but a few days. He was unmarried. The funeral took place on Friday afternoon in Toronto.
