Tweedside, Sept. 5 - Three months ago our friends, Willie BELL and Jennie BELL, were the last surviving remaining heads of the many families who sailed together from Berwick upon Tweed on the ship "Cornelius" in the summer of 1837, bound for New Brunswick and settled the Harvey Settlement (York Co.) where dwellings and fields soon took the place of the wilderness of woods that surrounded them or many miles. These industrious men and women from old Northumberland and Berwickshire made their mark as good honest farmers and farmers' wives, sons and daughters. Being Presbyterians we are yet undivided. On the Sunday eve. on board of the vessel which was to sail the following morn. from the Carr Rock wharf on the river Tweed, Rev. Ritchie stood on the deck and preached a farewell sermon and committing them to the care of Almighty God. The writer of this, then a boy of six years, with his parents, was on that wharf, listening to the minister's voice, little thinking he or his parents would see those people again, or that his future wife was on board with her parents, then a little girl also of six years. Well I said, three months ago Mr. Wm Bell and Mrs. Bell were the last surviving of the heads of families at that date. Then Mr. Bell was suddenly taken sick and in a few days died, aged 82 years. Mrs. Bell was then in failing health, and died Sunday last on her birthday, aged 84 years. A long time together, a short time seperated, leaving sons and daughters and many grandchildren to remember them.
They had the following children:
​
2 i. Agnes Bell
3 ii. Margaret Bell
4 iii. Agnes "Nancy" Bell
5 iv. Jane Bell

Copied from newspaper clipping (1901): Terribly Burned
Mrs Wm Bell of Tweedside Badly Injured--Clothing Caught Fire.
Harvey Station, York Co., May 1 -- A terrible occurrence was reported from Tweedside, this county, yesterday. While Mrs William Bell was attending to her household about noon, her clothing caught fire from the stove.
She made every effort to extinguish the blaze, but was unsuccessful. In great fright she rushed out of the house, seeking the aid of her husband, who was at work in the field close by. Attracted by her cries, he was horrified to find his wife enveloped in flames. With difficulty he got the fire put out, but not before most of his wife's clothing was burned off.
Dr. Keith was sent for and attended at once. He found the unfortunate woman in a terrible condition, being burned nearly all over the body. He did all he could to relieve her suffering, but very little hope of her recovery is entertained.
She married William A. "Bill" Bell, son of John Alexander "Jack" Bell & Jane "Jean" Cleghorn, 25 Dec 1895 in Harvey, York Co., NB . Born 1 Nov 1867 in South Tweedside. Died 29 Jan 1933.

Terribly Burned
Mrs Wm Bell of Tweedside Badly Injured--Clothing Caught Fire.
Harvey Station, York Co., May 1 -- A terrible occurrence was reported from Tweedside, this county, yesterday. While Mrs William Bell was attending to her household about noon, her clothing caught fire from the stove.
She made every effort to extinguish the blaze, but was unsuccessful. In great fright she rushed out of the house, seeking the aid of her husband, who was at work in the field close by. Attracted by her cries, he was horrified to find his wife enveloped in flames. With difficulty he got the fire put out, but not before most of his wife's clothing was burned off.
Dr. Keith was sent for and attended at once. He found the unfortunate woman in a terrible condition, being burned nearly all over the body. He did all he could to relieve her suffering, but very little hope of her recovery is entertained.
