  OBIT - The Sterling Daily Standard,

  The funeral of Mrs. Catherine Wells, of Clyde, was held in Morrison this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Welch officiated. Interment was made in Grove Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Catherine Wells, nee Ruckel, was born in County Limerick, Ireland, Dec. 10, 1832, and died after an illness of about three weeks at her home in Malvern, Wednesday evening, Feb. 23, 1911. At the age of about seventeen the deceased emigrated to America and settled in Ohio where she was united in marriage to John Wells in 1859. To them were born nine children as follows: Charles, who is now a merchant of Malvern; Lenwood, a farmer; Frank, a successful farmer and sheep raiser of Fort Collins, Colorado; George, who is a farmer located in Rock Island County; Fred, who is farming in Clyde; Ulysses, at home; Edward, who operated the home farm; Agnes E., the wife of Samuel James, a Clyde farmer; and Irene, the wife of William Detra of Clarksdale, Iowa.
  The deceased lost her husband four weeks ato and it is supposed that in connection with her advanced age, hastened her death. She was universally respected by all who knew her for her sterling Christian spirit which pervaded every act of her life since she moved to Clyde township, this county, in 1862.
