HANNAH ELIZABETH (MULLENIX) WELLS HUBBARD, 10 Feb 1846 - 05 May 1901

   Hannah Elizabeth Mullenix was born February 10, 1846, at Butler, 
DeKalb county, Indiana, and died at her home in Angola, Steuben 
county, Indiana, Sunday morning, May 5, 1901, aged 55 years, 2 
months and 25 days.
   In February, 18534, deceased came with her parents to Steuben 
county, where they settled on a farm five miles west of Angola.  
June 21, 1860, she was married to W. Warren Wells and to this union 
eight children wee born, of whom five survive; Mrs. Gertrude Quirk, 
of Tacoma, Washington, Mrs. Vina Smiley, of our own community, 
Thomas Wells, of Montana and Mrs. Luella Gamble and Williams Wells, 
of Decatur, Alabama.  Her first husband dying in 1876, a little over 
five years later deceased was united in marriage with William C. 
Hubbard, who survives her and to whom the heartfelt sympathy of our 
people goes forth.  In addition to the aged husband and children 
above referred to, two brothers, Stephen, of Decatur, Ala., and 
Daniel, of this county, are numbered within the sacred circle of the 
bereaved.  In December, 1867, in a meeting held at Flint by Elder 
Sutton, she obeyed the Gospel of Christ and from that time forth was 
dominated by the one thought of service toward God.  Of late years 
she has literally given life to the children who today united in 
calling her blessed and who will bear the impress of her untiring 
labor through all the years.  Patiently bearing more than nine weeks 
of grevious suffering, she at length fell asleep to awake in a land 
where such as she feel perfectly at home.  Her last words were of 
Christ and her last messages were appeals to the living whom she 
loved, to obey the Gospel that was more than life to her.  The 
funeral service at the Angola Christian church was largely attended 
by friends and coworkers of the deceased.  The W. C. T. U. attended 
in a body, as did the children of the Junior and Intermediate 
Endeavor societies, in whose interests deceased had toiled so 
faithfully.  The loving tribute of the children was a marked feature 
of the occasion.  The funeral sermon was preached by her pastor, 
Elder C. S. Medbury, and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in 
the Sowle Settlement cemetery.
