In 1834 they removed to this county, where she resided to the time of her death, a period of 52 years. In 1852, while engaged in building a house on the farm 2 miles east of the city, her husband was instantly killed. Through the aid of John M., the older son, who was always kind and helpful to his mother, her children were kept together until they married and established homes of their own. In 1829 she united with the Lutheran church in Pennsylvania. When she removed to this place she transferred her membership to the Lutheran church of this city, of which she has been a member for nearly a half century. She was one of its oldest and most highly esteemed members. Mother Bell was a consistent Christian; one whose walk and conversation corresponded with her profession. She loved her church; in every department of its work her hands were willing and her heart warm. She loved dearly her children and they in turn loved her. She not only set before them an example worthy of their imitation, but she taught them the commandments of God, and trained them to walk in the same. When death came, her work done, and well done, no wonder she could say with Paul, "I have fought a good fight" &c. And with Simeon, "Lord, now lettest though thy servant depart in peace" &c. Her funeral sermon was preached by her pastor, Rev. Dr. Wiles, at the English Lutheran church, Monday afternoon, to a large congregation of sorrowing friends, from 2 Samuel 22:33 -- a passage of her own selection, after which she was buried in our beautiful cemetery, beneath a weeping willow of her own planting.
