ObituaryJan 10, 1891  OBITUARY: Died in Littleton on January 3rd, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Wells, wife of Capt. B. F. Wells. Mrs. Wells was born in Sugar Hill Aug. 11, 1832 and was married in March 1854 to Mr. Wells. She possessed those sweet virtues of mind and heart which endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. During the War of the Rebellion she followed the fortunes of her husband in camp, and while stationed at Portsmouth, Washington, Fortress Monroe and other places, the soldiers ever found her a constant friend, always administering to their wants as occasion required. For several years past she has been an invalid and much of the time a great sufferer. A few weeks since she buried her only son, the late Walter Wells of Boston, whose loss she very deeply mourned. She was a member of the Methodist Church and possessed a lovely Christian character. Her funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends, Rev. Mr. Frost officiating. The remains were brought to Lisbon for burial in the Grove Hill Cemetery. Mr. Wells has the sympathy of all for this double affliction which has come so suddenly upon him. He is left alone to battle the storms of life and will often sign for the touch of vanished hands and the sound of a voice that is still.
