Intinlely demise. But We have
very assurance to know and be-
ieve that her immortal soul is
now resting, sweetly resting" in
hat other and that better land
njoying eternal bliss beyond the
ealms of time. Mrs. Wells was
oted throughout her section for
er open candor, kind charitable
disposition, and her honest love
or every one. And in her home
ircle-by her wifely devotion and
notherly care for her loved ones
here was joyous sunshine and
always. Now sorrow
eigneth in that household. And
With the bereaved ones we beg to
ningle our sorrow and extend to
hem our warmest sympathies-
or truly q noble woman-a"mother
