Dr. Wells’ Funeral Largely Attended.

The funeral of the late Dr. L. N. Wells, which was held at DetMotte, was very largely attended as a mark of the esteem in which he was held by ell who knew him. The funeral was in charge of the Masons but was also attended by the members of the G. A. R. pnd the Ladies’ Relief Corps. A large number of Rensselaer veterans and their wives were present. The Ladies Relief Corps, as os their custom, placed a sheaf of wheat upon the dadket of the departed. The ranks of the veterans of the great civil war are fast thinning and it is right and: proper that they should be shown all possible deference.
