Wells, who died at the Prince County Hospital on Wednesday night, March 1st., following an operation for appendicitis. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, 5th inst., and was one of the largest ever seen in this part of the country. There were some beautiful floral tokens of esteem, including a pillow from the family, a wreath from Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Rayner, and a wreath from Mrs. Alvin Mosher. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. W. H. Harding from the text “Thy Will be done on earth.” A quartette “Sometime We’ll Understand,” was tenderly sung, and the long line of carriages then followed the remains to the Greenmount cemetery, where interment was made. Dorothy was a very bright girl and gave promise of being a very fine musician; she was universally loved and her death comes as a shock to her young friends. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Wells in their sad bereavement."⁴
