Donald Aubrey Wells (b. 2-6-1920; d. 2-25-1982) never married

I'm not sure exactly when yet, but it is my calculation that it was about 1928 that Addison and
his wife and eight youngest children went back to WA .It may have been later, because my father spoke like he remembered "Grampa Addis" as well as "Uncle Billy".The older four took spouses from this area and all wound up living in TX, mostly Austin and Dallas.

He was married to Pearl Opal LINDSEY on 24 Jun 1900 in Athensville,Green Co., IL..(247) Libby Lambert Mar 2000 "Addison Irving Wells m Pearl Opal Lindsey (b.9-20-1880; d. 9-1943) in Athensville, Greene County,IL on June 24, 1900, after which they moved to King County, WA.
