Mrs. Wells was the second daughter • of the late Robert Scott, of Roxboro, and a sis- ter of Mr. Archibald Scott, of Seaforth, and Mr. John Scott, of Rox-• boro. She is the third member of the Scott family that has been called by death during the past eight months, the others being Mrs. Brown who died last summer and Mrs. T. E. Hays, who passed away in December. The Hop- kins paper says: .Margaret E. Scott. was born at Seaforth, Ontario, Jan. .31, 1851, and died at Trinidad,4Color- ada, December 31, 1919. She grew to womanhood in Ontario where she was married, to Thomas Wells and came to Nodaway county, Mo., where the family resided until twenty-one years ago when they moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they made their home until about a year ago. She was a sufferer from diabetis and in company with her husband started for San Diego; California, in -the hopes that the change might -be beneficial to her failing health. She grew rapidly. worse and it was necessary to take I her from the train at Trinidad and i place her in a hospital where as the old- year cane to. a close she droppedIIlIl1U111111111111111111111111111111Nllllllit, quietly to sleep in the arms of the Saviour of the world. Besides her husband she leaves four children, Wm. of Hopkins; Archie. of Eagle Butte, I S. D.; Mrs. Agnes Algert, of La Jolla, California, and Mrs. Jennie Babcock, of .Pierre, S. D. Mrs. Wells was of sturdy Scotch parentage and always took an intense delight in Scottish lore, being a great admirer of Robert ( Cecil B. De Mille's Burns and Sir Walter Scott, and was a close student of current events. She was a life long member of the Pres- byterian church and died as she had lived, a .devoted member of that body. The funeral services were held at the Hopkins Presbyterian church, Janu- ary 5th, being conducted by Revs. Car - dicer and Stiles and burial was in 'he .Hopkins cemetery. Among the l'hurch notices in the same paper the following appeared: On Monday- af- . ternoon of this week the funeral of Mrs. Thomas Wells was conducted at the church.

Mrs. Wells was the second daughter • of the late Robert Scott, of Roxboro, and a sis- ter of Mr. Archibald Scott, of Seaforth, and Mr. John Scott, of Rox-• boro. She is the third member of the Scott family that has been called by death during the past eight months, the others being Mrs. Brown who died last summer and Mrs. T. E. Hays, who passed away in December. The Hop- kins paper says: .Margaret E. Scott. was born at Seaforth, Ontario, Jan. .31, 1851, and died at Trinidad,4Color- ada, December 31, 1919. She grew to womanhood in Ontario where she was married, to Thomas Wells and came to Nodaway county, Mo., where the family resided until twenty-one years ago when they moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where they made their home until about a year ago. She was a sufferer from diabetis and in company with her husband started for San Diego; California, in -the hopes that the change might -be beneficial to her failing health.
