At Ashaway, R. I., Oct. 28, 1886, Mrs. Sophia Wells, in the 89th year of her age. Her husband, George P. Wells, died about forty-four years ago. She leaves three daughters: Mary Coon, of Utica., Wis., Nancy Darrow, of Montville, Conn., and Emeline, wife of Christopher C. Lewis, of Ashaway; also a brother and several sisters. Most of the time, for the past thirty-five years, she has made her home with Mrs. Lewis. Sister Wells, with thirty others, was baptized and united with the First Seventh-day Baptist Church of Hopkinton, Nov. 21, 1812. Only one of all that number is still living. For the past three years Mrs. Well's name has stood at the head of our church membership list. She will be remembered for her cheerfulness, her trust and her consistent Christian life. For a few years past her memory has been failing with her advancing age; but she retained better than anything else, the knowledge of her Redeemer, and when other things were lost in forgetfulness, she remembered and knew where to find the Lord. "I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night."
