    The ancestry of Edwin Pillsbury Welles was distinctively American in both its lineal and collateral lines. In the year 1635 Thomas Welles arrived from England and settled in Connecticut, becoming governor of that colony. Through the intervening period to the present representatives of the name have been active in furthering progress and promoting civilization in many sections of the country, and true to form E. P. Welles bore his part in the work of development and upbuilding in the upper Mississippi valley. where he became a leading and successful lumberman. Not long after the arrival of Thomas Welles in the new world he purchased land at Wethersfield, Hartford county. Connecticut, from the Indians and in the old homestead which he established six generations of his descendants resided, while E. P. Welles of this review was of the seventh generation. His mother belonged to the Pillsbury family, prominent in New Hampshire from the early colonial period. She became the wife of Leonard R. Welles. a manufacturer of edged tools.

    It was on the 24th of April. 1835. at the old family homestead In Wethersfield, Connecticut, that Edwin P. Welles first opened his eyes to the light of day and in his home town he supplemented his early common school education by study in an excellent academy. At Hartford, Connecticut. he had charge of a hardware store before attaining his majority but did not long continue in business in New England, for, attracted by the opportunities of the west. he made his way to Sandusky, Ohio, in 1855. In company with his eldest brother, Leonard R. Welles. There he engaged in the hardware business but in less than a year he had left Ohio for Fulton, Illinois, and again became connected with the hardware trade. With his brother's return to the east Edwin P. Welles moved to Marshalltown, Iowa, and there established a hardware store, which he conducted until 1866. He then returned to Fulton, Illinois, and became associated with W. P. Culbertson in the manufacture and sale of lumber, conducting business at that point for three years, when he sold out and moved to Clinton, Iowa. He found the lumber trade a congenial field of labor and purchased an interest in the Clinton Lumber Company, of which he became secretary and treasurer, taking active part in the management and direction of the business until 1873, when be sold his stock. He afterward joined with T. B. Wadleigh and D. J. Batchelder in organizing the firm of Wadleigh, Welles & Company, which entered upon the manufacture of lumber in Lyons, Iowa, and when Mr. Wadleigh sold his interest in the business to his partners in 1879. the firm name was changed to Welles, Gardiner & Company. Mr. Welles withdrew from the business in 1880, thus terminating a period of fourteen years of active connection with lumber manufacturing. For a few years thereafter he devoted his time largely to travel. yet was financially interested in a lumber Industry in ·association with John H. Queal, holding his stock in the business until 1892, during which period the firm of J. H. Queal & Company had extended and developed the business until they were among the most prominent operators of line lumberyards in the country.

    In 1894 Mr. Welles arrived in Minneapolis. and associated with C. S. Alden of Clinton, Iowa, his brother, Charles F. Welles, and George H. Cook of Minneapolis, be organized the Brainerd Lumber Company, which also built the Brainerd & Northern Minnesota Railroad, of which he was president. This line is now operated by the Northern Pacific Railway Company as the Minnesota & International Railroad. Edwin P. Welles also became one of the directors of the First National Bank of Minneapolis and remained an active factor in the business circles of the city until his demise. He was the treasurer of the Brainerd Lumber Company, operating at Brainerd, Minnesota, and at Minneapolis, and while he did not become allied with the industry here in pioneer times he belonged to that class who recognized the possibilities and opportunities of the later period and directed his labors toward the constant expansion of business Interests and connections whereby Minnesota has greatly benefited and prospered. He was likewise a director of the Minnesota Loan & Trust Company to the time of his death.

    It was on the 24th of March, 1857, that Mr. Welles was united in marriage to Miss Isabelle Griswold, with whom he had been acquainted from early boyhood. They became parents of two daughters: Mary Allee, the wife of W. F. Coan, cashier of the Clinton National Bank; and Florence, the wife of Elbert L. Carpenter, president of the Shevlin Carpenter company of Minneapolis. Mr. Welles' interest centered in his home and he found his greatest happiness at his own fireside. He rejoiced in his success, by reason of what it enabled him to do for his wife and children and also in aiding many worthy public projects. He was a member of Westminster church for many years and while broadminded in religious matters, he was a devout Christian and practiced in his everyday life what was for the good of his fellowman, and his church greatly benefited through his sincere and active membership. As the architect of his own fortune he builded [sic] wisely and well and by his enterprise overcame all obstacles and difficulties, advancing step by step to a place of prominence and prosperity. He recognized no old age retirement and was active in the industrial world to the day of his death, which occurred October 14, 1904, when he was sixty-nine years of age.
