library's photo websites www.picsadilly.com
All the photos are on the Wells Family Album and noted as coming from the Wells/Farnsworth Family
Album. There were a few inserted in the Bible as well, but I've included them on the photo album page.
I've also posted Perry's grandfather's Family Bible pages to this site under Perry G. Wells I, as
he is also named Perry Green Wells.

Obituaries pasted on the inside front cover:
From Earth to Heaven
Perry G. Wells, after a long and serious sickness, died at the residence of his daughter in town of Burton.
He was born March 16, 1821, in town of Wallingford, Rutland Co., Vt. He was the oldest child of a family
of 10, three boys and seven girls. When a mere boy he moved with his father to [New] York state, where
he spent the morning of his life on a farm with his father. At the age of 21 he was given charge of his
grandfather's farm, where he remained until the death of his grandfather severed them apart.
In 1852 Sept. 15 he was married to Miss Charlotte E. Bucklen. In 1854 being pleased with the prospects
of the west, he moved with his wife and child to Dupage Co. Ill., where he remained only a short period of
his life. Being somewhat displeased with the climate of Ill., it being somewhat different to that of Vt., in
1856 he moved to Iowa, where he spent 27 years of his life, farming being his principle occupation, and in
1878 he moved with his family to Minnesota. Here he spent the remain[d]er of his days, and on
June 1, he closed the evening of his life, and passed away to quiet sleep.
[poem printed afterwards, see scan]
[obituary]
Perry G. Wells, of Burton, who for some time past had been quite sick, died Saturday evening, at the age
of 74. He was born in Vermont, in 1821 and came here in 1877. He leaves a wife and four grown children.
The funeral took place Tuesday, the services being conducted by Rev. Blaker. The corpse was taken to
Canby for interment.
[obituary]
Minart Wells died Sunday evening, Oct. 6, 1895, at the home of his son, A. B. Wells, at Goodwin, S. D.
after an extended illness or disablement of over three years. Three years ago last March he received a
stroke of paralysis which partially paralyzed both body and mind.
Deceased was born in Wallingford, Rutland county, Vermont, in the year 1822, and died at the age of 72
years, 11 months and 2 days. From Vermont he moved to New York State in the year 1830, where he was
married to Permilia Baker thirty-five years ago. In April, 1881, the wife died.
Last June r. A. B. Wells had his father come to live with him at Goodwin. At the time of his death both his
sons A. B. and W. C. Wells were with him.
Deceased in early youth became a member of the First Baptist church of War[r]ensburgh, N. Y. His two
sons are the only surviving members of the family, his brother, Perry G. Wells, having died this Summer.
The remains were brought here for burial Tuesday and services conducted in the M. E. church by the
Baptist minister, Rev. K. A. Myers.
The deceased not being a resident here for any length of time was not generally known, but his life work
among those who did know him has been influential for good and such as to command the respect and
honor of all.
Then grieve not for him whose spirit has gone to that untrodden shore, nor wish to call to live again the
pure and justified.
