= The MONITOR mentioned the death of
Mrs. Albert Wells short time ago and
promised further particulars later, which
/. promise we fulfil today. Miss Harriet
Il Whitcomb was born in Enosburg on the
24th day of April, 1892. While quite young
d she moved to Pawlet where she spent most
d of her youthful years. On Dec. 3, 1850, she
? married j. z. Andrus, and lived with him
forty-one years, until he died on Sept. 1,
y 1891. She was married the second time to
y Albert Wells on Aug. 80, 1897, and has lived
r. here and at Bloomington since that time.
Since the death of Mr.. Wells on JAM 1904,
she has made her home with her son, F. NJ.
Andrus and family. Mrs. Wells was a
q member of the M. E. church at Pawlet for
many years and was very active in her re-
q ligious life. doing much to support the
church. She was intelligent, keeping
8 abreast OF the times aud interested in pres
ent affairs. For the last three years she has
= been gradually declining, and was confined
to her bed for the last three months of her
life. She had peaceful death on April 23'
: having lived one day less than seventy
five years. A simple prayer service was
: held at the house on the 18th, and very
: largely attended funeral service was held
at Pawlet where the remains were taken
}. for burial The beautiful and large number
g of flowers testified to the esteem and affec-
tion of her many friends. Rev. Mr.. Hurd
