I regret to report the death of Mrs. R. Bell, of the Greenough an old settler, very highly esteemed and respected by all who knew her. Her kind, genial manners, made her a universal favorite, and although, purely domesticated woman, who rarely left her home, will be missed by nearly all on the Greenough.[5]
