  The following poem by Edgar A. Guest is used as a tribute to Dr. Russell Perry Wells:
  "FAMILY DOCTOR"
  
  The old-time family doctor
  Am sure we need him still.
  The bedroom was his office
  When one of us was ill.
  His hours were not recorded
  In gold letters: "Two to four!"
  At midnight was he needed,
  We'd find him at the door.
  He welcomed us as babies and
  Watched us as we grew.
  For every touch of sickness
  He knew just what to do.
  The black bag that he carried
  Held pills of every make
  And just the ones we needed
  He'd leave for us to take.
  The old-time family doctor
  More like him there should be.
  To give our hearts to patients the self-same way as he;
  To hurry to the bedside
  No matter when the call.
  Devoted, wise and gentle
  The friend of one and all.
