Michigan By Rev. S. N. Griffith
She died recently, and from a notice in, the memorial services in the South Bend Weekly Tribune, I take the following extract: "The services were held at New Carlisle, in Indiana where she died, and to which place she had removed from Prairie Ronde-with her youngest daughter in 1866, and she departed this life January 6th,. 1878. Rev. George W. Bord, assisted by Rev. W. P. McKinney, attended to the funeral services at her residence in New Carlisle, Indiana, and then she was conveyed to Schoolcraft to be laid beside her deceased husband, who had preceded her to that goodly land where the inhabitants never say I am sick and where pain and parting will be no more, and there will be no more death, for the former things are passed away; and there will be no more night there. Darius Wells died January 24th, 1856. The memorial services at Schoolcraft were conducted by Rev. J. Boyenton pastor of the church in this place, assisted by Rev. J. T. Robe, her first pastor after removing from Ohio to Michigan in 1832. The funeral services were very impressive, and were largely attended, not only by the members of her own church, but largely by the old pioneers.
