GOOD CITIZEN PASSES AWAY.
Mr. John C[lark] Wells died at his home two miles this side of Cave
City, Monday morning at the age of 80 years.
His wife, who was Miss Bettie Eubank, died a number of years ago, and
he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Judge B. Jewell, with whom he
lived.
Mr. Wells was born in the Poplar Spring section, a son of the late
"Uncle" Billy Wells, but has been living in the Cave City
section for many years, his entire life being spent in Barren County.
He leaves one half-brother, Mr. Luther L. Wells, who lives on an
adjoining farm. The Dougherty Brothers of this place are nephews.
Mr. Wells was a very prosperous citizen and was an unusually successful
farmer and trader during his active years. He was the very embodiment of
honor and truthfulness in all his dealings and had the confidence of all
who knew him.
The burial was in the cemetery at Poplar Log, beside the remains of his
late wife, yesterday afternoon, after funeral services by Revs. Kirby
Smith and J. L. Piercy."
