I have a large file (166 pages) in Word. I'd post the whole thing here if I knew how. Thomas ODell printed it in a book, a chapter called '96 Years Among the Sioux.' The old boy lived that long, his last years in the VA Hot Springs Old Folks Home, his wife was with him. He was wittling wood and recreating the old fort in small wood, I have a picture of that. I'd put all this stuff up on this site, if I knew how. Anyone, jump in anywhere. Good to hear from you once again Mark! Your e-address is on a computer past.

I'll give you my home e-mail. My cousin and I have been wondering where Elroy's kids were at, and I'd love to connect with you, cousin! We have Shawnee and Mata down as Elroys, of course loosing Shawnee at an early age. Uncle Ray kept up with the family, but we lost him a few years back and are scrambling to get information from those of us who are here. s Prairie, could you send an e to pearlsandfeathers@yahoo.com.

I lived in the home he built along the Cannon River, Faribault, MN. My father bought the Bully Wells farm in 1919 and lived on it until 1962. I have a picture of the home if you are interested in receiving it. It was built around 1856, if I remember correctly, and was piped for gas lights. I am looking forward to your response.

Philip Well's daughter is my grandmother, she married Walter Sauser. Then they had Dad and Dad had me. That's where I come in to the picture. The writing Zonya is talking about is from a book that he put 40 or so pages of information in about his life. I have a photocopy of that (tho it seems to be missing a page), and typed it into the computer so I can send a copy to anyone who wants it. It's in Word, but I can send it out in whatever works for you. He (Philip) says his dad was looking for another possible trading post site in the Black Hills when approached by what he believed to be 'friendlies'. One of them wasn't so friendly, and shot Bully. Aaron witnessed his father's death and was ushered to safety by one of the Natives in the group. He put in some detailed information in his writing about who in his family was born where and when. It's interesting reading. If you don't want your e-mail address published here, (as I don't) you can send a note to me at HC66, Chadron, NE, 69337. I'm also listed in the Pine Ridge SD directory. Mark Dulac has many family tree details about the Wells, I found that on ancestory.com, and he's sent me some pictures. I live on the Oglala Reservation in SD.
