One brother Fred, a To- ronto druggist, died in 1903. (inc of ("his thoughtful character- istics was noticeable. in his willing- ` ness to volunteer his" services in aid of one of the legal fraternity who might be unable to attend to duties. Numerous instances of this kind are quoted py those who knew him well. Mr. Bell took a solicitous interest in the Children s Aid Society, and had been an honorary solicitor for the organization.` He was of a studious nature, which is implied by his de- gree of B.C.L., attained from Trinity I University while practising in Allis- ton.

His early `educa- tion was received in Alliston, Barrie and Collingwood public and high in Toronto and was also alaw stu- dent in theioifice of McCarthy and A Pepler, Barrie. He opened a practise `in Alliston, and for twenty years was a member of the firm of Fisher & Bell ofthat place. He subsequently joined with Mr. .Creswicke, under the firm name of Creswicke & Bell, Bar- rie, after the appointment of Mr. Fisher to a judgeship in Du*'erin county.` At the death of Mr. Cres-`I wicke he succeeded to the _county solicitorship, about six years ago, and has carried on the law business since, with outside offices at Alliston and Creemore as Well. schools, after which he studiedlaw I I The` sudden passing of Mr. Bell was a shock to both relatives and friends, particularly as he had been about his business daily and attended Division Court only the day before. When he was stricken Wednesday evening, Dr. V.A. Hart, a neighbor physician, was called, but before he or Dr. H. T. Arnall, Mr. Bell's family physician, could arrive, the lawyer had expired. l Heart, failure was "assigned as thei immediate cause of death. , .
