Funeral Services Slated Today For Henry S. Belle, One of Salem's First Business Men.
Funeral services for Henry S. Belle, 96, one of Salem's first business men, who died at a Salem hospital Sunday morning, will be held today at 11 a. m. from the Clough-Barrick funeral home with Rev. Robert Hutchinson officiating. Mr. Belle died after a severe illness of about a month, although he had been in poor health for some time.
He was born in Norway, March 2, 1845. In 1862 at the age of 17 he arrived in New York. He lived for a time in Minnesota, came to Portland in 1872, and later accepted a position as clerk with Brayman Brothers, pioneer Salem merchants. He conducted several business ventures himself here for many years, including merchanise, real este and insurance concerns, the latter of which he sold to the present operator, Fred Mangle. Mr. Belle managed the Salem Woolen Mills store from 1899 until it was taken over by the late C. P. Bishop, and remained with Bishop as a clerk for many years. He was associated with David F. Wagner later in a mercantile business for a number of years.
Mr. Belle married Nancy Swegle in 1876. Her father, Charles Swegle, a covered wagon immigrant of 1843, later became one of Marion county's largest land owners and taxpayers. Mrs. Belle died May 30, 1931.
A charter member of the Woodmen of the World and of the United Artisans, he filled all of the offices of the latter lodge during his membership. He was still a member of WOW at the time of his death. Mr. Belle is survived by two daughters, Mrs. C. E. Stricklin, Salem, and Mrs. Leslie Yates, Portland; one granddaughter, Nancy Stricklin, Salem; and a great granddaughter, Jackie Kelly, San Francisco.
