has an unusual record of church member
ship. He joined the Congregational
church at Bradford, VT, May g., 1889, by
profession, and there is no living member
of that church who joined it before he did.
He was admitted by letter to the First
Congregational church of Newbury in
May. 1885, and is the only member of eth
er of the three Congregational churches
in town who joined the First then the on
ly Congregational church in, Newbury), |
during the ministry of Rev. Clark Perry, |
who was its pastor from 1923 to 1885. In |
1868, he became a member of the then new
church at West Newbury. He has held |
the office of deacon since 1852, nearly -
years. Dea. Wells has been unable, from
rheumatism, to attend church for more
than a year, but still retains his love for
the house of God.
