LARKIN K. WELLS BURIED IN ASH HOLLOW MONDAY
Larkin Kilbourn Wells was born October 31, 1840, in Wise county, Va., and died in Louisville, Ky., on June 21, 1929, age 88 years, 7 months and 21 days. On January 3, 1861 he was united in marriage to Catherine Lewis and to this union two sons were born, being Elihu Wells of Humansville, Mo., and H. L. Wells of this county. Early in life he united with the Christian church and in 1877 he joined the independent Order of Odd Fellows at Crab Orchard, transferring his membership when a lodge of the Order was organized in Oshkosh and his name was enrolled as one of the charter members here in Garden Lodge No. 388.
He left his home in Kentucky where he had lived for several years after leaving Virginia, his native state, and located on a homestead about twenty miles northeast of Oshkosh in 1912. He proved up on his homestead and after his wife passed away about six or seven years ago, he disposed of his land and returned to Kentucky, making his home the greater part of the time with his granddaughter, Mrs. T. B. Shryock, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Wells.
It was only last week that word came of his serious illness and the report of his passing soon followed.
The body was brought to Lewellen Monday morning and after services were held at the Methodist church in Lewellen by the pastor, Rev. E. D. Gideon, his earthly remains were laid tenderly to rest in Ash Hollow Cemetery beside his wife, who was his companion for sixty years, when death's summons parted them. The services at the cemetery were in charge of the Odd Fellows lodge of this city, assisted by members of the Lewellen lodge.
Resides the two sons he leaves a number of grandchildren and great grandchildren and as many friends as he had acquaintances, and we join in extending sincere sympathy to the sorrowing relatives in their trying hour.
