DON W. WELLS.—Among the men whose enterprise and ability have been active
factors in promoting the remarkable growth and prosperity of El Centro and
Imperial County in general, is numbered Don W. Wells. He is a native of
Worthington, Minnesota, November 13, 1884, a son of John E. and Susan B.
(Langdon) Wells. The subject of this sketch acquired his early education in the
public schools of Los Angeles, California. At an early age he started to learn
mechanical engineering. In 1904 Mr. Wells entered the office of Norman F. Marsh,
architect of Los Angeles, California, and has followed his profession
continually up to the present time. He has been identified with many of the
leading building projects of the valley. Fraternally, he is a Mason and belongs
to the Chapter. Mr. Wells was united in marriage in Portland, Oregon, to Miss
Anna Nylen, December 23, 1907. To this union have been born a son and daughter,
John Emmett and Anna Luella. Mr. Wells' ancestors came from Holland and settled
in this country in 1635 and were among the time-honored and representative
families who first settled in the Mohawk Valley, New York. Mr. Wells is eligible
to join the Sons of the American Revolution. He concentrates his attention upon
his chosen profession, of which he is today a leader in this field. His name
adds to the list of those whose names have been far-reaching and beneficial in
effect that they have influenced many phases of community development.
