This man was known to family by the name of Earl.

However he is seen both as Clyde and as Earl in various census years.

Listed as "Clyde Earl" by his own parents in 1900.

Listed as "Earl" by his own parents in 1910.

Listed as "Clyde" by his own parents in 1920.

So maybe they could not make up their minds? ha ha

His obit he is listed as "C. Earl Wells"

So my opinion is that his real name was Clyde Earl Wells, but that he went as "Earl" to family and friends. --Msscarlet1957 17:37, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Jeanette Wells called him Uncle Earl and said that "he died from eating too many peanuts"(-- Judy Stewart 8 Sept 2008) Thanks Judy! --Msscarlet1957 01:30, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
