Read More	Robert Bell, Brush section foreman, who was fatally injured in an accident Tuesday, Feb. 4, 1936, when the railroad motor car on which he was riding met head-on with a similar car, 12 miles east of Brush, was buried at Wray, Colo., Sunday afternoon. A short service was held at Brush before the body was removed to Wray by the Brittell Funeral Home. Bell, a resident of Brush for the past three years, received a broken leg, cracked pelvis, head injuries, fractured shoulder and numerous other body abrasions and injuries when he was thrown through the canvas windbreak on his car by the sudden impact when the two cars struck. Three other men on the cars jumped to safety before the crash and were uninjured. The injured man was brought to Brush on a motor car at noon Tuesday and passed away at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 6, without regaining consciousness. The reason for the unusual accident was not disclosed, but the inspection of the ice-covered track was given as the reason for both motor cars being on the line. The deceased was born in England on January 1, 1879. He came to Colorado in 1932, residing at Wray, and moved to Brush a year later, where he lived until his death. He was a member of the IOOF lodge.

The IOOF lodge was in charge of funeral services, and pall bearers were composed of members of that organization. Interment was made in the Wray cemetery. ** Date of birth in this article and on the death certificate, do not match the date of birth on the birth records from England, of Jan. 7, 1878.
