At Ashaway, R. I., at the home of her father-in-law, Eld. Henry Clarke, Feb. 27, 1883, Emogene Wells, wife of Thomas Henry Clarke, and daughter of the late Welcome S. and Harriet D. Wells, of DeRuyter, N. Y., in the 44th year of her age. Emogene, when quite young, embraced Christ, and was baptized by myself, and welcomed as a member of the DeRuyter Church, from which she never transferred her membership. She developed to a lovely Christian womanhood, which has been maintained in the battle of life, in a manner that has won for her the reputation of a Christian heroine. Carried by her husband where she was separated from those of her own faith, she yet maintained her loyalty to God and her Church, with unswerving fidelity. The disease which bore her away was such as rivaled the sufferings of Job, which she endured with a patience and meekness that vied with his. Funeral services were held at Ashaway, Sabbath afternoon, conducted by J. R. Irish, assisted by brethren Main and Titsworth.
