       A retired barber, James C. Wells, 79, died yesterday at St. Joseph Infirmary after

many years before coming to Louisville and retired in 1950.
       He is survived by a son, William R. Wells; daughters, Mrs. Walter Chadock, 
Parkersburg, W. Va.; Mrs. Sigmund Sachick, Miss Kathryn Wells, and Mrs. Margaret Carver; 
nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild.  Funeral services will be hled at 3 p.m.
