Below are clippings from several scrapbooks we have at the Linesville Historical Society. Please enjoy them, and I hope you are able to make a connection! BELL - In Foxburg, Pa., July 10th, 1883, of injuries Geo. W. Bell of Linesville, aged 49 years, and ___ (blurred here) months. Our town was startled on Monday morning by a telegram from Foxburg to Mrs. G.W. Bell, announcing the death of her husband, a carpenter who had been for some time working on a new narrow gauge road being built form Foxburg into Forest county. No particulars were known until the arrival of the body, on Tuesday, in charge of James Hernon, Jr., of this place, now employed on a railroad in Clarion county. It seems that on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Bell, with others, was engaged in unloading a car of lumber, his position being on the ground. The stakes were removed from the side of the car, when the lumber suddenly slid off, catching the unfortunate man and injuring him internally. He lingered until Monday morning. Everything possible was done for him and the Railroad Company paid all expenses there, including coffin, etc., and friends, led by the Masonic fraternity, collected and forwarded a sum of money to his family. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, at Pierpont, where he formerly resided, and was buried with the honors of the order by the fraternity of this place and his old lodge.
