DEATH OF MRS. R.C. WELLS
Mrs. Sallie Dodson Wells after a brief illness from an acute attack of 
pneumonia, passed into the "unknown and eternal" at twelve o'clock Friday 
night.  The announcement of her death was a great shock to every one, and to 
her family when the blow came with heart-rendering suddenness.  No one 
realized that her illness was of a serious nature.  Friday morning she 
suffered considerable pain but insisted that she did not need a physician and 
would soon be up.  Her anxious husband however summoned Dr. Cheney, but the 
skilled eyes of the physician saw at once that his patient was beyond all 
human aid.  But hoping almost against hope everything possible was done to 
bring about a reaction, but the insidious disease had done its work and she 
sank rapidly.  It is hard to associate Mrs. Wells with death.  Her sunny 
nature, bright and joyous at all times, makes her loss all the more keenly 
felt in the home where she was indeed the light.  Her ministry of love to 
husband and children in !
 its watchful tenderness was beautiful.  Mrs. Wells had been a resident of 
Ellaville only three years, but in the short period she had gathered about her 
many warm friends.  She was a useful member of the Baptist church and will be 
greatly missed in the sanctuary.  The remains were interred in our cemetery 
Sunday afternoon.  A large gathering of friends stood about the open grave as 
the funeral service was impressively read by Judge C.L. Battle, and in a few 
appropriate remarks he bore testimony to the genuine good works of the 
departed.  Nothing in life is so sad as the taking away of a young wife and 
mother, and the bereaved husband and children have the universal sympathy of 
our people, for truly this untimely death has touched with sorrow every heart 
in Ellaville.
