- ↑ Charles P. Wells was born in Conquest, Cayug Co., NY, May 26, 1834, and came, with his parents, Jonathan and Sylvia P. Wells, to Niles, Mich., in June, 1835. They soon after purchased land previously entered by Arthur Johnson, on which was four or five acres of "slashing", and a log cabin, situated one and a half miles east of Niles and near "Yankee street," in Section 31, Howard Township, Cass County. There they settled, and in 1836, erected the third frame dwelling in the township, and remained for many years. The subject of this sketch entered upon the study of medicine November 1, 1852, in the office of the late Dr. Joel Loomis, of Niles, and completing the usual course of study under his preceptor and at the medical college, graduated at Cincinnati, Ohio, May 13, 1856, and during the following summer, engaged in the practice of his profession at Plymouth, Ind., and, after several seasons of travel, mostly in the Northern States and Territories, came to Pokagon in November, 1865, and, associated with A.L. Abbott, a merchant of the place, opened the first drug store ever kept in the village, of which he subsequently became sole proprietor, and has continued the business uninterruptedly, in connection with his practice, and may be counted the oldest and only dealer remaining in any branch of trade that was here when he came. May 21, 1870, he was married to Josephine V., daughter of Benjamin Curtis, of Berrien, Berrien Co., Mich.
- ↑ Dr. C.P. Wells, of Pokagon, died at his residence on Friday morning. Announcement of his funeral is not made as we go to press, but will probably be on Sunday. This is the third death in Anchor Lodge, A.O.U.W., of this city, since its founding nearly seven years ago.
- ↑ Dr. C.P. Wells died at his residence in Pokagon, of consumption of the bowels on Friday morning last, in the 51st year of his age. His funeral took place on Sunday and was attended by the members of Anchor Lodge, A.O.U.W., of this city, of which he was a member. Dr. Wells commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Joel Loomis, a skilled eclectic practitioner of this city, and attended closely to his studies and became thoroughly versed in his profession. In 1866 he located at Pokagon and entered at once into an extensive and successful practice and by his skill, kindness of dispositioon, and integrity endeared himself to all his acquaintances. His loss will be severely flet, not only by his family, but a large number of people.
