At Oswayo, Potter Co., Pa., Aug. 17th, of heart disease, Mrs. Polly Wells, wife of John Wells, in the 55th year of her age. In youth she professed religion, and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Berlin. Subsequent to marriage, she removed to Alfred. During a residence of twelve years at that place she was active in Christian duty. From Alfred she removed to Oswayo, where she has resided during the last twenty-one years. She united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Hebron soon after it was constituted, of which she remained an efficient member until her decease.
Her last illness, which was protracted and severe, was borne with fortitude, patience and resignation. She manifested a deep interest in the religious welfare of her husband and children, who will doubtless long remember her faithful admonitions. It is believed that to her death is gain. H. W. B.
