Find A Grave Memorial# 58096348 - Burial*: 1901; Cozad Cemetery, Hancock Co., Illinois, USA; Alanson was the oldest child of Lorenzo and Lucy Jane Wells. In the 1850 US census, he is shown as living with this family in Hancock CO, IL. In the 1860 census, Alanson is living with his wife Eliza Jane in Prairie Township, Hancock CO, IL.
Four children are listed as living with Alanson and Eliza, all born in Illinois. 1870 has Alanson listed as 'farmer' with land valuing $4500 and personal property worth $1500. There are now 7 children living in the home. By 1880, Eliza is no longer on the census reports and Alanson has married Emily Wyer Wells who was born in Kentucky. There are two children with the last name 'Wells' in the family and two children with the last name 'Wyer' in the family. All are listed as born in Illinois. By 1900, Alanson is living as a widower with a Claude Wells and a servant named Mary Mitten from Michigan.
The Cozard cemetery is on private property in Bear Creek Township, Hancock CO, IL and is virtually inaccessible. The cemetery is located a few miles south of Elvaston, IL. A report of the Cozard cemetery was written by Warren L. Van Dine in 1965. This report was published in 'The Gate City' a Keokuk, IA newspaper in 1965. Mr. Van Dine did an inventory of the tombstones and recorded what was possible but states that 'the cemetery is grown to high grass and brush and several very large trees cut down many years back lie on the ground where they were fallen. There are some stones to be found but all are off their bases and flat on the ground. One has to search to find any but by raking away leaves, we managed to find a few and to read some of the inscriptions. .....others were badly worn and most of them broken in two. Several were the rough limestone of very early times here, with all inscriptions crumbled away.......the Cozard cemetery is completely abandoned today. It has been pastured by farm stock probably for seventy-five years at least, maybe for as long as a hundred. There are no fences around it and no signs of ever having any.' (document received at the Hancock CO Historical Society, Carthage, IL by the manager of this Find a Grave burial.)
The Cozard Cemetery was formally land owned by Benjamin Cozart (Cozad) from Ohio who began buying land in Illinois (White and Hancock Counties) in 1855. He married twice: first to Angeletty Sumpter of Randolph CO, MO in 1846. After her death, he married Sarah Rohrbaugh in Hancock CO, IL in 1855. Nineteen children were born of this marriage, fifteen of whom survived to adulthood. Benjamin and Sarah moved to Labette CO, KS where they died in 1904 and 1931 respectively and are buried.

- Reference: W999 ID999
- Birth*: October 1821; Tennessee, USA
- (Bride) Marriage*: 16 October 1859; prob., Prairie, Hancock Co., Illinois, USA; Groom=Lorenzo Wells
- Burial*: 4 September 1902; Elvaston City Cemetery, Elvaston, Hancock Co., Illinois, USA; Clarinda married W. D. Ruddle in Adams CO, IL on February 27, 1840. She married Lorenzo Wells on October 16, 1859 in Hancock CO, IL after the death of her spouse and Lorenzo's wife Lucy Ann Lowry Wells. Lorenzo and Clarinda are listed in the Hancock CO census of 1860 as residing in Prairie Township along with four boarders, Clarinda's children from her first marriage, Andrew and Francis Ruddle both aged 12. Also listed is Lorenzo's youngest daughter Mary from his marriage to Lucy. Mary's age is 18. After the death of Lorenzo in 1865, Clarinda married her third husband John Thompson.
Clarinda's obituary was published in the Carthage Republican on September 10, 1902. "Mrs. Clarinda Thompson died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Loren Russel in this city, Thursday morning, September 4,1902, age 81. Mrs. Thompson was born in Tennessee and came with her parents to this state when very young. She was a resident of Hancock County for sixty-five years. She was thrice married, first to David Ruddle of Lima, IL of which union two children survive--Thomas and Jackson of Elvaston, second to Lorenzo Wells of Elvaston in 1850 of which union two chldren survive---Mrs. Russel of this city and E. D. Wells of Peoria. Mr. Wells died in 1865 and she married afterward J. C. Thompson who died about twenty years ago. Mr. Wells, her second husband, owned and first operated the famous old time tavern known as the 'Half Way House' near Elvaston. He was the landlord during all the Mormon troubles and was himself a Mormon for a time. During this period, he was hunted for by the government troops, but was successfully hidden by his young sons in a corn shock. During the Civil War, he also lead an exciting career as a Democrat in an unfriendly country. This tavern remained in Mr. Well's possession till his death. Mrs. Thompson was a life long member of the Christian church and was devout and faithful. She was a good mother. The last twenty years of her life she has been an invalid and the past ten years she has made her home with Mrs. Russell where she had every care and attention from her devoted daughter. Funeral was held from the residence Saturday, conducted by Rev.Sherman Hill. Burial was at Elvaston."
Further study of the Illinois census for 1900 shows a Loren Russell and his wife Clara living in Carthage Township. Loren is listed as a jeweler. Loren and Clara apparently had no children. This is most assuredly the 'Mrs. Russel'
mentioned in the obituary of Clarinda. The two children of Clarinda and Lorenzo are Douglas b. 1861 and Clara b. 1864. Both are listed with Clarinda and John Thompson in the Illinois census of 1870 as well is Andrew Ruddle, age 22, her son by her first marriage and a nephew, Isaac Cox, age 12. In 1880, Clarinda is living with Douglas Wells age 18 and Clara Wells age 16. It appears that John has died. In 1900, she is living with son Andrew Ruddle, age 52 and his wife and Isaac Cox, age 21. - Death*: 4 September 1902; Elvaston, Hancock Co., Illinois, USA; Clarinda married W. D.
