TRIBUTE TO THE REV. DR. WELLS.
The Clergy of the Diocese of Massachusetts, being assembled in goodly numbers attlie call of the Bishop, and having conferred together on the loss sustained by the community at large, and by themselves personally, desire to record their tribute of love and veneration for the memory of a true servant of Christ, a saint of raro humility, a devoted presbyter of the Church, a father of the poor, a son of consolation to the suffering and sorrowful, th • Rev. Eleazer Mather Porter Wells. Doctor of Sacred Theology, who, on the evening of the first day of the first week of this present season of Advent. Sunday, December 1st, In the eighty-slxth year of his age, and in the happy possession of his consecrated faculties, welcomed death's summons to the coming of bis Lord.
With moistened eye*, and with a deep sense of the bereavement, we yet give hearty thanks to Almighty God for i he good example of His honored servant, now resting from prolonged earthly labors. We are grateful thai we can think of him to day as awaiting in perfect enjoyment of the Saviour's love, and in the light and refreshment of Paradise, the n-v. lailon of His final advent. A Christian of that true greatness of character which Is more than eifts of genluB or learning, renown or station, the greatness of unaffected and profound humility, exceptionally free from the littleness of ambition and self seeking; a man of great heart, enlargeo affections overflowing sympathies, and a wideemoracing charity; a clergyman of stainless reputation and incorruptible integrity: an enthusiast In his sacred calling, especially in his sell-elected mission to the destitute and afflicted, the outcast and ihe erring; generous and self-sacrificing to the last degree; consecrating time, labor, and substance to His holy cause; ascetic and severe towards himself, but singularly con slderate and Indulgent towards others; attempering even needed reproofs with unwonted kindness, in his endeavor to follow, though at an hnmble distance, the world's Great h xemplar of benigmtv and mercy.
The work of Dr. Wells, continued for so long a period at St. Stephen's Mission. In Boston, and as the trusted almoner of very many of his fellow-citizens, and, withal, his pure and consistent life as a man of God and of unremitting prayer, furnish a splendid commendation of religion, and of the communion which hepreferred and loved; and are an ornament to the various societies with which he was connected. Unenl lied loyaltv In the sacred relations of life was a marked trait of bis character; first, of course, to his Divina Head, and then to all that belonged to Him—His Church. His mln'Stering servants. His faithful people, as well In secular associations and private friendships. He had unshaken faith in the Church of Christ as tha only sure safeguard and citadel of goodness amidst hostile influences of sin abounding in the world. None more reluctant to give ear to disparagements or aspersions upon any of its members, or more ready to honor any and all degrees of worthiness in the most lowly and obscure; in bis own lowliness of mind ever esteeming others better than himself, gladly seeing them preferred, and rejoicing in the humblest ministrations for his own share In the service of his Master and of hia kind. His brethren of the clergy feel that such an example Is an invaluable legacy in an age of indulgerce, self-seeking and easy Christianity: and they accept it as a call to themselves to more unsparing consecration and sacrifice. They will long and warmly cherish sacred and sweet memories of the life and service of the beloved father now with God—well worthy of a permanent memorial amid the scenes of his long and persevering ministry of love.

Memorial services for Walter C. "Walt" Wells of Nevada City will be conducted at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 235 S. Church St. in Grass Valley.
Mr. Wells died Tuesday, Sept. 5, at home after a two-year battle with colon cancer. He was 88.
He was born on Nov. 29, 1917, in Amityville, N.Y., to Frederic H. and Helen M. Wells. He attended Amityville schools, McDonough Military Academy, and Lehigh University, from which he graduated in 1939 with a bachelor of science in business administration. During the time he lived in Amityville, he was very active in high school sports, scouting and Red Cross water safety instruction. While attending Lehigh, he was a competitor in the 1936 final Olympic Wrestling tryouts. He earned 10 varsity letters in four different sports. His interest in sports continued throughout his life as a participant, coach, and official.
He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1940 until 1961. He married Polly Wood in Shipman, Va., in 1947. In addition to various stateside stations, he served in Iceland, Cuba, and the Southwest Pacific (including Guadalcanal) during World War II, then in Japan, Okinawa, and on the staff of the NATO StrikeFleet Atlantic. He taught artillery, mathematics and surveying at the Marine Corps Schools in Quantico, Va., from 1945 to 1947 and was a graduate of the Armed Forces Staff College. In 1956, he was appointed as a wrestling official with the U.S. Olympic Team. While stationed on Okinawa, he represented the United States in international military competition in both swimming and tennis.
After retiring from the Marines, he returned to college at Long Beach State and earned a master of arts degree in 1962, then started a second career teaching mathematics and coaching wrestling at Nevada Union High School. In 1965, he co-founded and coached the Grass Valley Penguins. He was an active member of the Gold Flat Volunteer Fire Department from 1966 to 1982, and during the same time period volunteered as a Red Cross water safety and CPR instructor for western Nevada County.
Since retiring from teaching, he was active in U.S. Masters swimming and throughout the years won eight national championship gold medals and set a world record in a relay event while swimming for the San Mateo Master Marlins. He had been a resident of Nevada County since 1963. He established and funded WHC Scholarships to help Western Nevada County student athletes attend college, and WELLSWOOD Charities. He was a lifelong member of the Episcopal Church.
He was an avid outdoorsman, and enjoyed his walks on the Cascade Ditch trail.
He is survived by his wife, Polly of Nevada City; daughter, Helen Howard of Bullhead City, Ariz.; son and daughter-in-law, Fred and Joyce Wells of Nevada City; daughters and sons-in law Anne and Dan Beatie of Meadow Vista, and Mary and Gary Deardorff of Nevada City; sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and Dave Harris of Beulah, Mich.; grandchildren Paul and Ross Beatie; step-grandchildren Sheri and Steve Mueller, Ann and Wayne Mackey, Trish Westphalen, David Evans, Barbara and Andy Bloom, Robert and Sandy Howard; great-grandchildren Kevin Westphalen, Jack and Natalie Mueller, Austin, Alexandria, Samantha and Michael Bloom, Steven and Sean Howard, and Josh and Colin Evans.
