Mrs. Tom Bell Passes Blanche Minerva Craig (Mrs. Tom Bell) was born on Sept. 14, 1867 in Ames, Iowa, the daughter of Isaac and Mary Jane Craig. Mrs. Bell, or "Grandma," as she was familiarly known, passed away in St. Mary's Hospital, Camrose, on April 24, 1952. She leaves to mourn her passing: three daughters, (Essie) Mrs. M. Jay, of Santa Rosa, California, (Mabel) Mrs. M. Vislisil, a widowed daughter, of Camrose, and (Cleo) Mrs. Bruce Munn, of Camrose. One daughter (Alvas) Mrs. Wynn, of Los Angeles, California, predeceased her in 1947. Her husband, Thomas E. Ball, died in 1944. One granddaughter, Mrs. C. J. Kenny, resides at Penhold, Alta. There are twenty-six grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren,and three great-great-grandchildren. Mrs. Bell left Iowa with her husband and children at the beginning of the century. She homesteaded in South Dakota, and in 1910 came to Castor, Alta. The winter was spent in Castor, the starting-point for many homesteaders. In the spring of 1911 they left by ox-team and covered wagon for the homestead in the Youngstown district, 110 miles distant. The first years were spent in a sod shack. The "welcome" sign was always out. A good neighbor and a true christian, her family and neighbors always came first. Famous for her cooking, "Grandma" could always find a good meal from nobody knew where. She came to Camrose in 1924, where she lived until her death. She had good and loving care at the Bethany Sunset Home for the last four years. We bow our heads in memory of, shall we say, one more of the fast-disappearing pioneers of the Old West. May her soul rest in peace. The Camrose Canadian, April 30, 1952, page 16 Alberta Death Reg. #1952-08-003234
