MARYBOROUGH.
The death occurred at the Maryborough Hospital late on Wednesday night of Mr. Albert Edward Bell. The deceased, who was in his 43rd year, had seen service with the 37th Battn.,  Machine Gun Section, and subsequently with the regimental stretcher-bearers. He was a native of Albury, and is survived by a widow and three children.

The death occurred at the General Hospital just before midnight, on Jan 11th, of Mr. Albert Edward Bell.  The deceased, who was in his 43rd year, was a native of Albury Victoria, and for some years past had been a well-known resident of Maryborough. Prior to the late war he had been employed by the Maryborough City Council and at Walkers Limited - shipyards. He enlisted with the 37th Battalion, Machine Gun section, and was afterwards, transferred to the regimental stretcher bearers. He saw about 3 years' active service in France, where he was badly gassed — an affliction, from which he had never totally recovered. Much sympathy will be felt for his bereaved widqw (who only a few weeks ago  mourned the loss of her sister. Mrs. J. Telfer), and a young family of three, Ida Grace (12 years). Albert John (10). and Eric Lewis (9). Deceased's parents predeceased him, but he is also survived by four brothers and five sisters, all  of whom reside in New South Wales and Victoria.

BELL.—On January 11, 1922, at the Maryborough Hospital, Albert Edward, beloved husband of Hilda Bell, and beloved father of Ida Grace, Albert John, and Eric Lewis Bell—aged 42  years and 5 months.
