ABBIE WELLS
1926-1943
  
Abbie G. Richmond Wells was born on April 24, 1903.  She was the
oldest daughter of Elijah b. Richmond and Zora Webb Richmond. On Oct.
21st 1926, she was united in marriage to Hobart Wells and to this
union were born Charles Kermit, Illenia Grace and Jack Richmond.  Her
husband and three children survive.
  
Her father, Elijah Richmond and her three sisters, Mrs. Charlie
Newsom, Mrs. John Brickley and Miss Fanny Richmond, also her three
brothers, Otis, John D and Elijah B., Junior, survive.
   
Her mother departed this life January 7, 1927.
  
She leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn her passing. She
was converted and declared her faith in Christ about four years ago
and since that time has lived a true consecrated life in her savior.
She passed from this life on December 17, 1943 at the age of 39
years, 7 months and 13 days.
   
To one whose sun of life has reached its zenith and then has settled
down behind the western horizon, death comes not so much as a
heartless robber, but as a merciful agency to release the care worn
traveler from this weary journey and usher them into the presence of
their heavenly master, but to one who was yet in the prime of life,
whose life’s sun had not reached its zenith, death comes more as a
heartless robber, but all children of God must answer to that call
when it comes and bow in humble submission to His divine will. Until
that time when we shall meet her again though it greatly grieves our
heart, we must take our leave and in our sadness say farewell.
