VOL. XLV MARGARETTA BELL'S 95TH ANNIVERSARY Born November 12, 1818, Birthday Was Yesterday Again Celebrated In Delightful Manner and serenely, enjoying, the extraordinary life is her lot; keenly alive to the days as they pass with a zest and relish hardly believed to be possible by those not in personal touch, and possessing the affectionate respect of the entire community, as she has for a generation or two of Newporters now passed away, there being rounded out in our midst a life which in point of years is nearing the century mark, with mental vigor unimpaired and physical strength preserved a degree altogether remarkable. Miss Margaretta Loudon Bell, for a long time our oldest resident and for a couple of generations best known our people, yesterday, celebrated 95th anniversary of birth. has been their annual custom in recent years her friends gathered at her home in southeast Center Square for an all-day celebration of the event. Good cheer prevailed, a substantial dinner was partaken of and no guest, whatever may have been her years, found deeper joy in the event than the venerable lady whom the company sought to honor.
Those who have known Miss Bell in years past need not be told that her unusual age is by no means her greatest distinction. Her personality is of the kind whose impress abides, the kind to be sought out and the kind which can be developed by. nothing, but genuine life and thought. with her would soon convince one of the unaffected and natural simplicity of her character. Some of Pennsylvania's best blood flows in her veins and it is a fine sight indeed to observe the pride of family and ancestry which is still a very pronounced trait.
Soldiers, statesmen and diplomats of the well as men now dorninant in the politics of our State have been her family connection, which is of Scotch-Irish origin with Cumberland county as the old family seat. Her mother was a member of the Cumbercounty Loudon family and in that county on November 12, 1818, Miss Bell was born. When Miss Bell was two years old her grandfather Loudon exchanged his Cumberland county lands for a tract located in Howe township just below the present site of Newport, the old mansion now being the house on the upper Freeland farm. Miss Bell's joined the exodus to this then largely, about unsettled that her life frontier, has been and 80 lived it in this community. The more fertile lands of the Cumberland valley eventually induced the return of the elder family to that section.
In 1827 Miss Bell with her parents joined the straggling community on this side of the river which has since grown into Newport, her father purchasing the ground on which now stands the C. F. Smith store and the Shade restaurant. The immediate cause of his moving here was the construction of the old Pennsylvania canal. he secured the contract to build the aqueduct over Little Buffalo creek at southern border of Newport, but his premature death the following year, at the age of 36 years, prevented his completing the contract.
His death occurred in the historic old house, remembered by all Newporters of past days, known as the O. H. P. Rider house and located on Front street, the present site of the Pennsylvania railroad passenger station grounds. Miss Bell says that though Newport had its beginning prior to the building of the canal in 1828 its real start dates from that time and was due to the canal itself and the stimulation of industry and business which it brought.
With her mother, subsequent to the death of her father, Miss Bell again lived on the old homestead in Howe township until 1838 when she began the residence in Newport which has continued uninterruptedly since. For a couple of years her home was on North Second streets, later on the place now occupied by H. W. Wertz but continuously since 1845 on the lot in Southeast Center Square which is now, it may well be supposed, a real home to her. In 1845 her mother traded what is now the C.
F. Smith corner, on which only small buildings had been erected, for the site of her present home the late Solomon Brown, then its owner. Not only has this site been her home for 68 years but in part her present house also, though changes and enlargements have been made in it. Having learned the millinery business in Cumberland county she engaged in that here in 1843. With conspicuous success she persued this work up to about 30 years ago, amassing a competence and securing her independence largely by her own courageous and selfreliant efforts.
Miss Bell's early education was secured in private schools her antedating, of course, the establishment of Pennsylvania's free school system. She attended schools near the present Troutman farm in Howe township, i in a small building on the present site of the Episcopal rectory and out at the upper Rider farm, now the old Fickes homestead. Miss Bell's tale of early local days is interesting to an unusual degree. The difficulties of her Scotch-Irish family to understand and be understood by the German neighbors among whom they were almost isolated are laughable indeed. The canal being largely built by Irish emigrants relieved the language difficulty to some extent.
She recalls but two streets in Newport at that time which crossed at right angles where the square now is, but they were called streets more by courtesy than by right. Her early lot having been cast among people of strong convictions, she and her family were pronounced Whigs in politics until the formation of Republican party which has been the party of her allegiance since. Her adherence has been so strong that recent disasters in her the party political arena in the have least. not shaken loyalty Though she understands and enjoys political discussion she is an opponent of the suffrage for women. She reads the newspapers practically every day and probably no one in Newport can more intelligently discuss events as they occur, a thing which she greatly delights to do.
It was her great privilege to hear the immortal words of the Gettysburg address as they fell from the lips of the martyr president, Lincoln, in 1863. For 69 years she has been a communicant of St. Paul's Lutheran church, having missed being a charter member by less than a year's time, as the congregation was organized in 1843.

With splendid determination and pluck she will not voluntarily surrender the strength of her vigorous constitution largely built up, doubtlees, by years of honorable land living.
Frequently she attends church seldom misses a communion service, walking to and from the church if no automobile is provided. But probably her greatest pleasure is to have company in her home where for hours straight ahead she finds delight in talking with her friends. In this manner the facts of the present narrative were gleaned but with no thought of publication on Miss Bell's part, her modesty always disclaiming undue self-assertion. The Irish strain in her blood is plainly visible in the genial humor which is always in evidence. Miss Bell won five premiums "fancy made by herself and exhibited at the Newport Fair this year.
The following friends and neighbors joined Miss Bell at her home to celebrate C. Ney, Mrs. Margaret Leiby Howe, the anniversary: Pastor and Mrs. Wm. Mrs.

Elizabeth Whitmer, Mrs. J. C. Bistline, George Flesher and Miss Ella Fleisher. Entire informality was observed by the friends of Miss Bell and throughout the course of the day and into the late evening an almost steady stream came to express their esteem and, extend greetings.
Dinner, furnished the guests was served for a couple of hours, beginning at 12 o'clock noon, one of the ornamental features of the table being a large cake containing 95 candles. The venerable lady held open house and her friends generally Pipe Organ Recital In St. Paul's Lutheran Church pipe organ recital by Prof. J. Fred Wolle of Bethlehem in St.
Paul's Lutheran church last evening was a most delightful musical event. Prof. Wolle is one of the foremost pipe organists America and he developed the range of the Lutheran pipe organ to a remarkable degree. It was gratifying to learn that Prof. Wolle was pleased with the pipe organ on which he played last night, saying it was a fine instrument.
After the program which was begun at 8.30 o'clock the choir of the church under whose auspices the recital was given and who had furnished young lady ushers to escort the attendants at the recital to their places, held a reception in the Sunday school room of the church SO that all might meet Prof. Wolle and have a social half hour, at which refreshments were served.
