NOTES OF INTEREST

Wellie was a farmer. It is believed that he lived on and worked the farm in Wesson all his life. Wellie was smaller than his father and brothers. He was thin and quick, always moving and going, perhaps even hyperactive. He had lost vision in one eye and it was permanently closed. On Wellie's death certificate, the cause of death was listed thus: "Tumor of the brain as near as I can say". The duration of his illness was listed as seven years and an operation was performed in 1916. This was eight years before he died. Perhaps this is what happened to his eye. Wellie died at age 55. He is buried in the WADDELL-POWERS family cemetery located on a hill in a pasture just south of Wesson, MS.
