Thomas Cottrell
COTTRELL - At the residence of his father in Taylor township, on the 12th inst., Mr. Thos. Cottrell, in the 46th year of his age.
Mr. Cottrell was converted some years ago to the christian religion, and in his dying hour was enabled to lean by faith on the strong arm of Him who alone can give lasting consolation in the last moments of dissolving nature. This makes the fourth member of this family that has been removed by the hand of death since the 8th of March, and "Uncle Billy" is the only surviving member of the now desolate household. In this very great bereavement he has the sincere sympathy of the entire community.

"Uncle" Billy Cottrell Passed Away Last Thursday After Living a Little Over 100 Years.
Benton county holds the distinguished honor of one of its citizens living to the great age of over 100 years. This was William Cottrell, of Vinton, who was born in Greene county, Ohio, November 12, 1808, and died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Alexander Keller, three miles north of Vinton. Thursday evening, January 14, 1909, aged 100 years, 2 months and days. On November 3, 1908, he was able to be brought to town and he cast his vote for William H. Taft and the straight republican ticket at the Taylor township polling place.
Mr. Cottrell was married to Miss Anna Parcel of Pennsylvania, in 1830. To this union ten children were born - seven sons and three daughters. The two surviving members of this family are Mrs. Sarah Wilkinson, of Oakdale, Nebraska, and Mrs. Alexander Keller, of Taylor township, this county. Three sons served in the civil war.
Mr. Cottrell came from Ohio to Benton county July 3, 1856, and was a resident here until his death. His first vote was for President Jackson and he had voted at every presidential election since. Since the formation of the republican party he had voted for every republican candidate including President-elect William H. Taft. He was strong in his principles - political or otherwise - and always voted the straight ticket.
He was a kind father and a good citizen. The funeral services were held Saturday morning from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Alex. Keller, the sermon being preached by Rev. W. F. Spry of the Methodist church. Interment took place in Bear Creek cemetery.
