(David BELL 1st, nephew David Bell, and now first cousin "Bowen".The subject of this sketch, Aylsworth Perry Bowen Bell, was born in the Township of Camden, County of Addington, Ont., on the farm now owned by Alfred M. Bell on the last day of November, 1840. He has always lived near his birthplace, with exception of the past three years, which he spent with his children in the Canadian West and in Michigan. He was the seventh son of John and Sarah Bell, who both predeceased him. There was a large family of children, eight sons and four daughters, and “Bowen� as he was familiarly know, was the last to pass out. Mr. Bell was married to Thressa Breault, of Camden on July 3rd 1864, thus they celebrated their golden wedding more that a year and a half ago. To this union was born six sons and three daughters. Besides one boy who died in infancy, there have also passed to their reward, Amelia in 1906, and Seymour in 1910, thus leaving besides the heartbroken widow, who also is striken in years, four sons, Elwell, of Napanee; Wellington of Saskatchewan; Rev. E. Frazer of Freemont, Mich.; Rev. Aylsworth B., of Buffalo Centre, Iowa, and two daughters, Bathilda and Edith, also of Saskatchewan. Mr. Bell has always been a consistent member of the Methodist Church, having been converted in his youth at revival meetings held at Lynn, by his brother, Rev. J. D. Bell. He was educated at Newburgh Academy, graduating from there with a second class teachers certificate when he was 19 years of age. He taught school for several years before settling upon his farm at Wesley. Mr. Bell is a man who is widely known and highly respected by all, old and young and will be mourned by a wide circle of friends. He was a hardworking and dutiful father and a faithful husband, and will be missed by one and all. Truly we can say of him, “Thou shalt be missed because thy place will be vacant.� No task was too hard and no sacrifice too great for him if the happiness of his family were concerned, and while we miss father and mourn him as gone from us, yet we can only remember that the Good Gardener has just seen fit to transplant our loved one in that great expanse where he may develop and grow in happiness and felicity throughout eternity. And so while we say sadly, “good-bye father�, yet we also add, your life was an inspiration to us to live, so as to meet you with all our loved ones in that better land. Mr. Bell passed away December 24th, 1915, at his home in Napanee.
