Fagan, David: History of Benton County, Oregon
WELLS, Charles B.--this well known pioneer of Pleasant Valley is a
native of Platte county, Missouri, born 22 July 1841, and with his
parents came to Oregon in 1852, at that time locating on the place
where our subject now lives. Here, in 1865, his father, Charles

the former having reached the advanced age of almost four score and
ten. Mrs. WELLS was born in Barron county, Kentucky, 27 April 1797,
and is a lady of more than average intelligence and possessed of a
remarkable memory.
