So who is Mary Catherine Bell - is it possible that she was born after the original Mary Catherine Bell?
From the Orillia or Barrie newspaper (1937) [Confirm which newspaper]:
Mrs. Duncan Bell, of Radville,/ Sask., passed away on Monday, Jan./ 11. Mrs. Bell was well known to/ many Oro people. Her husband/ predeceased her a number of years/ ago. Both were highly respected in/ Oro township.
Based on her death certificate, she was about 10 years old when her family migrated to Canada. That would put the approximate date of migration in the early 1860s.
