WELLS Family Photograph
I have in my possession an old photograph of Ben WELLS of Council Bluffs, IA which was taken at the William Cundill Studio in Maquoketa, IA most likely in the 1880’s sometime. Ben appears to be in his 20’s at the time the photograph was taken. The photograph looks to have been a gift to Juliet SEAWARD whose name also appears on the back of the photograph. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Ben and his family:
Benjamin “Ben” M. WELLS was born Sept 1866 in Iowa or Missouri to parents George WELLS (b. 1835) and Elizabeth WELLS (b. 1844). Ben married Eveline “Eva” Maie NASON (1871-1945) on 2 Jul 1896 in Council Bluffs, IA and they had two children including Lena F. WELLS and Florence WELLS (b. 1904). Ben died 14 Dec 1908 in Nevada, MO. His funeral was held at the St. Francis Zavier’s Church in Council Bluffs, IA and he was buried in St. Joseph’s Cemetery in that city. Mr. WELLS had been a Real Estate Dealer in Council Bluffs for some years along with the late Dr. C. B. JUDD.
Census Records provide the following information regarding the family:
1870 census of Stewartsville, MO:
George WELLS, age 35, a Farmer, born IL
Elizabeth WELLS, wife, age 26, Keeping House, born NY
Delany WELLS, son, age 8, born IL
Charles WELLS, son, age 7, born IL
Benjamin WELLS, son, age 4, born MO
Newman WELLS, son, age 2, born MO
Lillie WELLS, dau, age 2 months, born MO
1880 census of Iowa:
John MARRIS, age 46, Agricultural Implements Dealer, born OH, parents born VA
Jane MARRIS, wife, age 46 Keeps House, born NY, parents born NY
Benjamin WELLS, nephew, age 15, at Home, born IA, parents born OH
I am hoping to locate someone from Ben’s family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley

My grandfather, Oscar Jesse Lee Wells, did not like having such a long name, so he shortened to O.L. Wells. When they moved to Oklahoma, he spent all day handpainting his name on the mailbox. He was very meticulous and everything had to be done just right.
After he was finished, he stood back and admired his handiwork. There on the silver mailbox were bright white letters: O L WELLS
The next day when he went to get his mail, the school children had made a slight adjustment to his name. His mailbox now read: OIL WELLS.
