Mrs. Emma L. Wells, wife of George C. Wells, died at their home near Farina in the early morning of March 5, 1909, after a brief illness.
Mrs. Wells was the youngest of the seven children born to Robert and Ann Brown, of whom two brothers and two sisters are living. She was born in the town of Royalton, N. Y., April 15, 1843. She was married on February 16, 1868, to G. C. Wells and came directly to Farina, which place remained her home till death. To them were born four children, three of whom are living. In early life she was converted and joined the Baptist Church near her home in New York. On moving to Farina, she brought a letter and joined the Farina Seventh-day Baptist Church, about two years after its organization. During these years she has been a faithful and loved member of the church and greatly interested in its work. Mrs. Wells was a woman who feared the Lord, and in her service she did well In her home, in the church, and in the community where she lived. In our hearts we give her the honor which is her due, and we are comforted and helped in the memory of her life.
