Jerome Wells^1,2

• Reference: W999 ID788

• Birth*: 24 June 1853; Logan Co., Illinois, USA; Wife: Anna
  
  Children:
  John E. (died as infant),
  Clifford Andrew Wells,
  Perry Edward Wells,
  Frances Warren,
  Charles Walter,
  Anna Margaret,
  Edward Lee and
  Efflyn (died as child in Illinois)
  
  
  Jerome Wells used Rock Island County, Illinois as his jumping off place for the west. He sold out his farm there and with his wife and small children boarded the train arriving in Hood River in April 1891. Most of the valley floor land was taken up already, so he rented a parcel of farm land on what is now known as Fir Mountain Road. When land became available on the eastern rim in the Pine Grove district he took up a homestead. Life on the hill top was anything but easy. The children had to climb the mountain to and from school daily.
  
  Finally in 1901 a farm became available and the family removed from the hill top home onto the floor of the valley in Pine Grove.^1,2
