Rhoda M. Wells
Was born in Wayne Co. Ohio, December 12, 1837, and died at her home near Angola, Indiana, May 27, 1911, aged 74years, 5 months, and 14 days.
She came with her parents laton and Ann Wells, to Steuben County at an early age and within her experience have transpired many of the hardships and privations of pioneer life.
April 29, 1860, she was married to Christian Fast, thus taking upon herself the great responsability of helping to rear his motherless family. And so well has she ingratiated herself into the hearts of the many children and grandchildren of the man of the man to whom she came as a helpmeet that there remains not one who has not risen up to call her blessed.
Of this union there remains two sons, Ira c. living near Angola, and orla L. in Angola: their one daughter, Laura, Dying at the age of nine years. Besides the two sons and five grandchildren, there remains to mourn their loss, two step-sons, three step-daughters, four brothers and one sister with many other relatives who hold themselves nearly as close.
Many years ago under the ministration of vElder D. C. Hanselman she became a christian, later becoming a charter member of the first Christian Church in Angol, with which congragation she has since been identified, living a quiet, loyal life all through the years.
Many were her virtues, but her greatest joy was her loving service to her friends, and her friends were any and all whom she might serve.
So greatly had this spirit of helpfulness become instinctive that one might well think the key note of her life was embodied in the Saviour's words when he said "Whosoever will be grat among you, let him be your minister, and whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant" A good, christian woman has gone to her reward.
Funeral services were conducted by Elder Vernon Stauffer in the Fairview Christian Church, Monday, May 29th. 1911.
