Martha Lovina Wells

F, #63485, b. 13 November 1866, d. 4 June 1914
  • Reference: W999 ID999
  • Birth*: 13 November 1866; Christian Co., Kentucky, USA
  • (Bride) Marriage*: 12 December 1883; Pope Co., Illinois, USA
  • (Bride) Marriage*: 14 July 1895
  • (Bride) Marriage*: 1897; Groom=Jerry Hardy Blackwell
  • (Deceased) Death*: 4 June 1914; Oak Grove Cemetery, Paducah, McCracken Co., Kentucky, USA; Martha Lovina Wells Rolfe-Kelly-Blackwell

    Birth: Nov. 13, 1866
    Christian County
    Kentucky, USA
    Death: Jun. 4, 1914
    Paducah
    McCracken County
    Kentucky, USA

    Daughter of Joseph Henry Wells & Rutha Dunning.
    She married first, Luther Rolfe to whom she bore 5 daughters: Eula, Sula, Lula, Lillie & Willie.
    She married 2nd to James W. Kelly. They had one daughter, Bertha.
    Martha, known as "Lovey" left her husband, and baby daughter.
    There are 2 theories as to why she left. One is that she had Tuberculosis and left to go to a hospital.
    Another, told by her daughter Bertha to her son James Kelley Foster, was that she left the baby at the neighbors saying she was going to town to do the shopping, but didn't come home. Either way, James divorced Lovey in Livingston Co. KY in 1899. Bertha did not know her mother's name, and did not remember what she looked like. She did remember that her father was abusive. I would imagine that is why Lovey left!
    The next trace of Martha Lovina Wells is her death in Paducah KY. She was using the last name of Blackwell. I would assume she remarried. She died of Tuberculosis according to her death certificate. She is buried next to her daughter Lillie from her first marriage.
    Why did she desert her daughter and never return??? She lived her last years within 20 miles of her youngest daughter, yet never contacted her.
    I would love to solve that mystery!
    Connie Blacburn & I pieced this together from bits of info we had both found on Rootsweb, the Illinois Marriage Index, and old papers in a box under my grandma's bed. Connie is a descendant of Lovey through her first marriage. I am a descendant through her daughter Bertha, who was my Great-Grandma.

  • Reference: W008 ID999
  • Birth*: 16 February 1822; Hebron, Licking Co., Ohio, USA
  • Burial*: 23 March 1880; Old Auburn Cemetery, Auburn, Placer Co., California, USA; Death of B. R. Wells—Bezaleel R. Wells, an old Californian and an old resident of Placer County, formerly of Auburn but of late years a merchant at Penryn, died suddenly in Sacramento where he had gone a few days before for medical treatment last Tuesday morning. Mr. Wells was a native of Ohio and at the time of his death 66 years and 1 month old. He had no relatives in this state, so far as we know. In his habits Mr. Wells was quiet and unassuming; as a businessman he was noted for his strict integrity. Though of a pleasant and obliging nature, he never mingled much in society. His remains were brought to Auburn Tuesday night on the lightning train and buried in Odd Fellows' Cemetery at 2 o'clock PM the next day under the auspices and according to the rites and ceremonies of the Odd Fellows and the Red Men, of which orders respectively he was an honored member. Regarding the ultimate cause of his death, Wednesday evening's Bee says he fell in a fit on K Street Monday evening. He was at once taken to the Ebner House where he had been stopping. He had been ailing from some affection of the heart, and his condition after being taken to the hotel was such that he died the next morning.

    WELLS, BEZALEEL R.

    Death of an Old Resident—B. R. Wells, who died at Sacramento on the morning of the 23rd, was an old resident of Placer County, very highly respected by all who knew him. He lived in Auburn for many years where he was engaged in various kinds of business. Mr. Wells had been in failing health for some time previous to his death and went to a water-cure establishment in Sacramento some weeks ago to find relief, if possible. It seems that he was also subject to fits for he was taken with one at the old depot in that city the evening before his death. It is probable, indeed, that his death was directly due to this cause for he was picked up insensible and carried to his lodgings where he shortly afterwards expired. Mr. Wells was on the street Monday, apparently as well as he had been for some time past, and his death occurred Tuesday. Thus we have once more been startlingly reminded of the force of the saying that "in the midst of life we are in death." Deceased was a native of Ohio, aged about 66 years. He was a member of Auburn Lodge, No. 7, IOOF, and of Delaware Tribe, Red Men of Newcastle. Delegations from both lodges attended the funeral which took place on Wednesday from the Odd Fellows' Hall, Auburn. The remains were deposited in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery at this place.
