  	Mrs. William Pell, aged 78, who had spent practically her entire life in Adams county, died after a brief illness at her home in Corning Wednesday, August 18, 1943 at 9:30 a.m. Friends and loved ones had noticed for the past year the rapid decline of Mrs. Pell, but she was confined to her bed only a week previous to her death. The death of this aged citizen, fine neighbor and devoted mother, brings sadness to a large group of friends and her sorrowing family. Agnes Catherine Smart Pell, daughter of Samuel and Isabell Smart, was born in New York state, December 14, 1864 and was 78 years, 8 months and 4 days old at the time of her death. She came to Adams county when a small child and this has been her home continuously, until the time of her death. She was married to William Pell, November 20, 1884 at Carl, Iowa and to this union five children were born, four of whom survive. These are: Mrs. Leonard Lawrence, Corning, Ia; Harry M. Pell, Corning; Dryden L. Pell, Atlantic, Ia; Kenneth E. Pell, Los Angeles, Calif. Donald C. Pell is deceased. One step daughter, Mrs. Dora Stephens of Kansas City survives. Mr. and Mrs. Pell and their family resided on a farm in the Mt. Pleasant vicinity of Adams county until thirty-two years ago, when they moved to Corning. Mr. Pell died Feb. 11, 1928 at the Corning home. There are eight grandchildren who survive this devoted grandmother. Other near relatives who survive are: a sister, Mrs. E. B. Polson, Prescott; two brothers, Dryden Smart, Corning and a Thomas Smart, Creston. Mrs. Pell was active in community affairs, in early life having been a member of the Methodist church, the Rebekah lodge and the Woman?s Relief Corps. As long as she was physically able she served faithfully in these organizations, and was always a dependable neighbor and loyal friend. Her deepest interest and fondest devotions were centered in the home and family and her life was spent in self-sacrificing devotion to them. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Corning Friday afternoon, and were conducted by Rev. F. O. Barnes. Interment was in the Walnut Grove Cemetery. [4]
