"HENRY CLAY WELLS
More than two centuries ago three Welshmen by the name of Wells came
to America. One settled in Baltimore, Md., one in Massachusetts, and
the other was entirely lost sight of. The subject of this memoir is
a descendant of the brother who settled in Baltimore. Henry Clay
Wells was born October 27, 1853, on the old Ben Fisher farm, near
Beach Bottom, on the Ohio river. He is the son of Robert M. and
Eliza Ann (Carle) Wells. The father was born near the place just
described as his son's birthplace, April 28, 1822, and the mother was
born April 22, 1824, in Wellsburg, W. Va. They were the parents of
seven children, two of whom are now living: Henry Clay, and Virginia
(Wells), the latter is now a resident of Wheeling, W. Va. Henry
Wells attended the common schools and also the Normal school at West
Liberty. Having spent about three years in the Normal school, Mr.
Wells engaged in farming, and has since followed this avocation. He
owns 200 acres of fertile land, and makes a specialty of raising
sheep and corn, being recognized as one of the representative farmers
of the county. He married Jennie W. Hedges, November 17, 1875, a
daughter of C. B. and Hattie (Walker) Hedges. This marriage has been
blessed by the birth of two children, named: Lena Ota, born November
14, l876; and Carl Walker, born November 30, 1878. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Wells are members of the Disciples church, of West Liberty, and are
classed among the charitable and influential people of the community. Mr. Wells is a loyal republican. Their residence is situated in Buffalo township, Brooke Co., W. Va."
