Floy Belle Warden Wells
The Payette Independent
Thursday, February 25, 1926
Floy Belle Warden was born on September 9, 1897, at Calcrest, Colorado, and in 1919 came to Payette with her father. On February 18, 1920 she was united in marriage to Fay Wells, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bascom Wells of this city. Mrs. Wells died on her sixth wedding anniversary, February 18, death resulting from the effects of a serious operation from which she never recovered. Besides her sorrowing husband, Mrs. Wells is survived by two little daughters, aged three years and twenty months, respectively, and by her father. A loving and devoted daughter, wife and mother, she leaves a terrible void in the lives of the three generations who loved her, and it is to those mourners that our deepest sympathy goes forth.
Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Ernest Mitchelll from the Christian Church on Saturday afternoon, and interment was made in Riverside Cemetery.

MRS. FAY C. WELLS
As announced in last week's issue of the Enterprise, Mrs. Fay Wells passed away at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Wells after an illness of three months during which time she bore her affliction patiently and was hopeful to the very last. Shortly after she was taken ill, she was removed to Holy Rosary Hospital at Ontario, where she might receive more skillful care and where every means known to medical science was administered and also the care of special trained nurses, but the nature of her affliction was such that the most skilled physicians could not have rendered material relief, which was proven by an autopsy following her death. After more than two months at the hospital she was returned to Payette where she passed peacefully away at none o'clock Thursday morning, February 18th, on the sixth anniversary of her wedding day. Mrs. Wells was a kind hearted woman, devoted to her family who will miss the tender care of a mother and wife.
She leaves to mourn her departure while yet in early life, a husband, two little daughters, Ida Belle, three years of age, and Fern Floy, one year old. She is also survived by a father, Clarence Warden of Payette, and a sister, Mrs. Lavonia Forbes of Tacoma, Washington, besides other relatives and many friends of this community.
Floy Bell Warden was born at Gilchrist, Colorado, September 9th, 1897 where she continued to live until September 1919, when she came to Payette and the following spring was married to Fay C. Wells, in February 18th, 1920, and since that time have resided on the Wells' ranch east of Payette.
The funeral services were held from the Christian Church, Saturday afternoon in charge of the American Legion, Rev. Ernest I. Mitchell, pastor, who is also an Ex-serviceman, and member of the Legion delivered the funeral address. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.
