  Again we announce with bitter tears the departure of a beloved citizen and a brave soldier, on Jan. 26, 1914, four hours before the golden sun rose from the blue distant horizon, the arms of death embraced our beloved husband and father, David D. Wells, after almost nine years of affliction.
  He was born in Monroe County, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1845 and was 68 years, 4 months and 18 days of age. He was married to Rebecca J. Sheets, April 22, 1866, who still survives and to this union were born ten children, viz; Mrs. Reuben Beaver and Mrs. Thomas Harmon of Crown City, Ohio; Lewis M. Wells of Platform, Ohio; Thomas M. and Mrs. Ernest Johnson of Gallipolis; Arnett M. and Franklin M. of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs. J.C. McClellan and Mrs. Joe Schleigel of Patton, CA; one son, Harry M. died in 1895 at 6 years of age; all of the children survive except the [missing words] qualities to make him such. He knew he must make his peace with God and sought Christ and found him 29 years ago and joined the M.E. Church with his wife, where he remained a faithful and consistent Christian till death. He always had a kind word for everyone he came in contact with, making a host of friends wherever he went and goes to his final reward with a spotless record. He was always looking forward to do something to build up the cause and advised his children to do right, as life is too short to do otherwise.
  He was young when he heard his country's call, but yearned to go to the front and enlisted in the service as a member of the 60th Ohio Volunteer Infantry of the Federal Army in 1862, serving two years and nine months, participating in a number of battles and enduring many hardships, which, in all probability, caused his death.
  He came to Gallia County in 1864 and has since followed farming as his vocation, his motto being, "Anything worth doing at all is worth doing well." He leaves, besides the children and his beloved companion, 26 grandchildren and one great-grandchild who survive. The funeral services were held at Good Hope Thursday Jan. 29, 1914 at 10 A.M. with Rev. R. Hollinsworth of Huntington, WV, officiating, his text being from Rev. 14,13. Internment following at the same place by Undertaker John Stevers of Mercerville, Ohio., the pallbearers being his three sons, Lewis M., Arnett M. and Thomas M. and two of his grandsons, Floyd F. and Emmet Wells.
  There was a large crowd present and various states represented, which proved his extensive friendship and all shared sympathy with the bereft and the relatives regret their inability to express in words their heartfelt appreciation for the help and all assistance given in their darkest hours. Though we mourn for him but not as those who have no hope, as a loving remembrance his wife, with whom he had lived so long contributes to this sketch the following little tribute:
  The head and stay is called away
  Now I am left alone
  My husband dear who was so near
  Has fled away and gone
  Grandson
