She worked in Ritchey's Market for 13 years doing checkout and "meat hopping" when Cloyd was employed but had to quit to take care of him. He was hurt badly somehow.
Frances said that some research has been done for the family history of Omar's wife and that she is Pennsylvania Dutch. She also said that there was a Wells reunion some time back and that she thinks Lelia's daughter Marjorie might have the book from the reunion. She said that Linda Lou Jones (Cloyd's dau), Patty Mowery and Pam Callahan (Leonard's dau's) started the Wells get-together 6 years ago (1984). It is held the last Sunday in June at the park in Fredericktown, but isn't very big.
She was member of the Fredericktown First Baptist Church. She was survived by Linda Jones of Mt Vernon (dau), Leo Jones (grandson), 3 sisters and a brother. Two other brothers and her husband preceded her in death. Her funeral services were held by Rev. Robert Ernst.
