He then located at Gibsonburg, Ohio, where he engaged in teaming for five years and then rented a farm northeast of that town, on which he lived for eight years. He then purchased his present farm from George Richard, settled on it and has continued its cultivation and improvement to the present time. Mr. Wells has two brothers and one sister, namely: Charles H., who married Minnie Murray; Frank D., who married Sarah Keller; and Hattie J., who married George
