- Provided by Eddy Wells, Ollie Dell Ponder b.Jan . 05, 1891 died Aug. 06, 1913.
Buried..New Church Cem. Centraila , Trinity Co. Tx..
Ed married her first and had Vollie and Reba (my aunt )
Ollie died and he married Willie Ponder, her cousin, and had Buna (my aunt)
Willie died and he married Sudie Ponder, her cousin, and had Harrison (my uncle)
Ed died and Sudie married into the McNutt family and had several more kids . while
living at Corley Bowie Co. Tx.
That makes me think that Ed is buried around Bowie Co.
I don't think any of them were married, it was just "common law ". - Wells Surname DNA Study,Orin Wells, Wells Surname DNA Study.

Deceased was a lawyer and was a member of the local bar at the time of his death. He lived at one time in Delhi and was a member of the Legislature from Richland parish, serving two terms. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow.
