WOMAN PASSES – Mrs. Henrietta E. Bell Dies as Result of Injury to Hip Mrs.
Henrietta E. Bell, one of the pioneers of the state and known to all her friends
as “Aunty” Bell, was taken to her last rest Saturday afternoon, death
resulting primarily from an accident nine weeks ago, when she sustained a broken
hip. Mrs.
Bell was born June 16, 1833. She
was married when about 20 years of age in Wisconsin and came west almost
immediately with her husband. They
settled in California for a time and in about ’63 went to Elk City, Idaho,
then a thriving camp. When this
camp was no longer prosperous they went to Oregon.
They moved to Boise in July ’67 and Aunty Bell has been a resident of
the city ever since, her husband dying more than 20 years ago. Mrs.
Bell was not only “aunty” to her nieces and nephews, the Cartee children,
whom she brought up, but to many other young people, who were along in the great
western country, and who remember her many kindnesses to them.
Until last summer she remained in the Cartee home on Grove street, but
feeling too feeble to be longer left in charge of so large a house, she made her
home with her old friend, Mrs. Adelina Rossi.
She leaves two brothers, D.F. Baker of Boise and N. Baker of Caldwell,
besides many nieces and nephews. The
body is at the D.F. Baker home but the funeral services will be held from St.
Michael’s cathedral Monday afternoon at 2:30 and interment will be in the Odd
Fellows’ plot in the Masonic cemetery.
