"DIED.
At Perth on Sabbath morning, the 16th instant, the Rev. William Bell, A. M., the Minister of the First Presbyterian Church, in the seventy-eigth year of his age, and the fourty-first of his ministry. He was born at Airdrie, Scotland on the 20th May, 1780, educated for the Gospel Ministry, at the University of Glasgow, and ordained at Edinburgh, March 4th, 1817.
He had looked to Canada for some years as the scene of his future labors, and arriving at Perth as the Minister of the First Presbyterian Settlers, in June 1817, he entered at once on his public Ministry. Though he had many labors to go through and hardships to endure in a new country, he never repented the choice he had made.
He had the honor of being the first to preach the Gospel in Lanark, Ramsay, Beckwith, Smith's Falls, and other places, besides Perth; at all of which there are now flourishing congregations. It was his desire that his friends at a distance should be informed that he died in the firm faith of that glorious Gospel which he had with so much pleasure, preached to others, and in the unclouded hope and prospect of a glorious immortality beyond death and the grave. His last illness was merely the decline of nature; his increasing infirmities had compelled him to cease his public labours about three months ago; but he was confined to his room only two weeks, during which he suffered very little pain, and was uniformly calm and happy. His latter end was peace."
