B.D. Wells
   Bravely battling with the inevitable through long days and weary nights 
since early spring, Boyd D. Wells, age 24, son of Mr. And Mrs. E.B. Wells of 
our town, on last Sunday night, at 10:40 heeded the call all humanity will one 
day hear, and obediently launched his bark in life's and eternity's stream, 
with prow pointed toward the sunrise of endless day, thus beginning a new life 
in a new country, from "whose bourne no traveler returns."
   Funeral services for this extremely popular young man was held from the 
Baptist church last Tuesday morn at 11 o'clock, conducted by his pastor, Rev. 
E.D. Kelley, asisted (sic) by his former pastor, Rev. W.R. Coile of 
Winterville, interment following in Watkinsville cemetery.
   The following pals and old schoolmates tenderly bore all that was mortal of 
their beloved comrade to his last resting place: Bruce McRee, Harold Elder, 
Carlton Downs, Joe Boyd McRee, Tom Murray Veale and Albert C. Elder.  The 
honorary escort was composed of college chums and older friends, as follows: 
Everett Mongomery, J.H. Patman, Roy Carroll, Jimmie Crowder, Roy Crowley and 
Warren Downs.
   Surviving the deceased are his parents, Mr. And Mrs. E.B. Wells, 
Watkinsville,; six sisters, Mrs. E W Coile, Arnoldsville: Mesdames W H Hodges, 
Jr., and H T Hodges, Watkinsville; Miss Grace Wells, Greenville, S.C.; Misses 
Emily and Blanch Wells, Watkinsville; five brothers, B.R. Wells, Meridian, 
Miss.; Messrs. O.R., Hoyt, Eugene and Billy Wells of Watkinsville
   "B.D.," as he was affectionately known to loved ones and friends, was a 
young man of stealing character, lovable nature and fascinating manners.  By 
dent of pleasing personality, indefatigable spirit and lofty ambition, he was 
making his way thru the School of Technology, after graduation in the high 
school here, and no young man ever attending this noted institution had made 
and retained more friends than he in a like brief period of time.
   Just facing life's threshold, with the world before him and every promise 
that he would use his time and talent for the good of all, death's icy fingers 
closed his eyelids still and to human understanding it seems unduly pathetic 
that his bright youth should be so cut down in life's morning, but the All-
Seeing One moves in mysterious way His wonders to perform and no one knows but 
God the purpose of his removal from loved ones and friends.
   But in the bye-and-bye time of the afterwhile, when all of us come to the 
end of a perfect day, these now inexplainable providences will stand revealed 
in the light of eternity's noonday sun and all can and will rejoice together in 
glad acclaim in a world that knows no sorrow and no pain.
   If words could comfort bleeding hearts, there would then be no tears at 
death's inexorable entrance ever, but time alone can cure such heartaches, and 
in tenderest manner may the great God of the Universe comfort and console those 
now dwelling in clouds of gloom because of the passing of one they so much 
loved and adored.
