RICHARD R. WELLS. - Industry, perseverance, intelligence and good judgment are the price or success in agricultural work in these modern days of farming, when the hard, unremitting toil of former years has given way to the scientific use of modern machinery and a knowledge of the proper treatment of the sale. Sangamon County has many skilled farmers, who treat their vocation more as a profession than a mere occupation, and take justifiable pride in their accomplishments. Among them may be mentioned Richard R. Wells, of Salisbury Township. Mr. Wells was born on Section 34, Salisbury Township, December 12 1871, a son of James H and Margaret (Sackett) Wells.
Richard R. Wells received a district school education and was reared to the life of a farmer, remaining at home until his marriage, March 10, 1892 by Rev. Goff, to Miss Cora V. Campbell, who was born in Cartwright Township, June 4, 1873, daughter of William V. and Mary E. (Valentine) Campbell. After their marriage Mr. And Mrs. Wells remained on the Wells homestead for one year, but in the spring of 1893 they removed to another farm belonging to Mr. Wells father, and in 1895 again moved, locating on their present place on Section 34, Salisbury Township, which is now one of Sangamon County's best farms. Mr. Wells has 252 acres of land in one body in a high state of cultivation where he raises large crops and breeds of excellent grade of livestock. They have a beautiful home, furnished with all the modern improvements, including heat, water and light, and it is ably presided over by Mrs. Wells. Mr. Wells is affiliated with the Modern Woodmen of America.
Mr. And Mrs. Wells have been the parents of three children, one of whom died in infancy. The others are: Earl E., born November 20, 1892, died April 10, 1911 buried in the family lot, in Richland Cemetery; and Beulah Belle, born October 25, 1896, who lives at home.
