Katy (Sarah) Jesperson was born to Lorenz Peeter and Jane B Montgomery Jesperson in Iowa. By the time Katy was 10 years old the family had moved to Lancaster, Nebraska and added some new members to the family; Elmer Elsworth 1863 and Fredric 1865. By 1880 Anna 1874, and Grace Gertrude 1876 had joined the family and on December 24, 1879 in Lincoln, Lancaster, Nebraska Katy married Henry Joseph Wells, my Great Grand Uncle. They had 8 children: Etta, Shaler Lorenz, Henry Arthur, Daniel Ernest, Alta Jane, Ray A, Myrtle and William R. Katy and Henry moved around a bit. They moved to Munden, Kansas about 1883 and then to Wray, Yuma, Colorado in 1888. I have information that says Henry and Katy were divorced on Mar 1, 1920 in Wray, Colorado, but when Henry died in Los Angeles in 1941 he was buried where Katy was later buried in Wray, Colorado in 1945. ~~~Jane Councilman Weaver~~4/11/2011
