The West Liberty Index - West Liberty, Iowa, 5 September 1907; pg 5
James A. Wells
James Alexander Wells was born in Westmoreland county, Pa., April 8, 1838, and died at his home in West Liberty Aug. 28, 1907. At the time of his demise he was 69 years, 4 months and 20 days of age. In his boyhood, when about 8 years of age, he removed to the state of Ohio, where he continued to reside until the year of 1868, when he came to Iowa, settled a little south west of West Liberty and where he made his home until some two years ago, when he left the farm and removed to West Liberty.
He was united in marriage with Lydia C. Logsdon of Knox county, Ohio, on Oct 11, 1860, and of this union were born six children, four sons and two daughters. James E. of Downey; Mrs Berylie Davis of Spencer; Ledger J., Earnest E., and Mrs. Lottie Hanna of West Liberty. Charles E. died in the first year of his age. Besides the sons and daughter just mentioned there are also left two brothers and two sisters and four grand Children to morn their loss.
Two years ago Mr. Wells was called upon to part with his wife, who died, and since that time his life has not been the same. There was a feeling of loneliness which could not be taken away. Forty-five years of married life which was exceptionally affectionate and happy left a vacant place in mind and heart, after the separation, which could not be filled. Our friend and neighbor needs no words of eulogy. His kindly deeds and upright living speak more eloquent praise than words could ever utter. The funeral service was held at the home on Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Geo. Furniss. Interment at Oakridge.
