been active and interested worker in the church.
Her hobby is the piecing of quilts and as she unable to handle the Heavy quilting she quilts each block and joins them
together.
The Bible is her favorite book and she is also interested reader of The Tribune, especially of the editorials.
In recalling the Civil War days, Mrs. Schell said that only old men were left to carry on the work and the calico was
50 cents a yard and hard to get at any price. One change of clothing was all that people had, she said.
She was married to Jonas Schell in Wheatland, PA, who passed away 18 years ago in Leesburg, Mercer County, PA.
