DEATH OF MRS. L. D. WELLS.
Passes Away Unexpectedly Tuesday Evening.
A Peaceful End Of a Peaceful Life,

Mrs. Wells, wife Of Rev. l.. D. Wells
died at her home, on Sixth street, on
Tuesday evening. Although Mrs. Wells
had been ailing, her death was wholly
unexpected, and the shock to her hus-
band and daughter was most severe
The arrangements for the funeral will
not be completed until the arrival of her
sou, Herbert A. Wells, who is expected
today from llwaco.
Mrs. Phebe ID. Wells was born in Har-
man, o., about sixty years ago, and in
this town she was married April q,
1867, to the Rev. i. b. Wells, whose first
pastorate was Medina, Mich. With her
husband she bore willingly and patiently
the trials of minister's wife, and PROV
ed devoted helpmate and mother. In
her home life, which was ideal, she
lived an unassuming persevering and
beautiful existence and beyond that she
had no special purpose. Prior to her
marriage she was Congregationalist
but united with the Presbyterians after
that event and continued in close con-
nection with that denomination erer
since. She had been a resident of Aber-
deem three years, coming with her
family t ON Ilwaco. She leaves besides
her husband two children, Herbert, who
is married and lives in Ilwaco, an Miss
Della OF this city.
