Born as Frank D. Wells
Son of Randolph Wells and Rosanna Parkerson/Parkenson. Frank's mother died during his birth; he was given to Frank and Elizabeth (Norris) Winkler at his mother's burial.

He was married in 1904 as "Wells".

Birth certificate:
"Wells, Frank - male - b: Mar 31 1885, near Urich - 5th child of Rosa Parkesson - age 32 - bca 1853, IL - fth: Rudolph -age 24 - bca: 1861, MO - occ: laborer - att: O. E. Wallace, Urich - bk: 5 pg 26. His death cert shows his birth date as Feb 1 1885, which must be correct as his mother died during his birth on Feb. 1.
Note: This record is full of errors: The father was Randolph, age 33, not Rudolph age 24. The mother is believed to have had five ch (two died in infancy) from first marriage, and Frank was the 3rd child from her marriage to Randolph. Perhaps the number was "8" and mistranscribed as "5". She is believed to have been born in Arkansas, not IL, altho not proved. Frank's birth and her death was reportedly a very bad event and the person who filled out the form may have been shaken.
