The Ionia Standard, Friday, April 23, 1909


Chauncey E. Wells died quite suddenly about 7 o’clock Monday a.m., nobody 
being present at the moment but Mrs. Wells.  Mr. Wells had been in poor health 
for four or five years, and unable to do any sort of labor for past year.  He 
was taken worse on Wednesday night of last week, when his son Loren was here 
over night, but he seemed better the next day and was not thought to be in 
immediate danger.  The immediate trouble was acute indigestion, complicated 
with weak heart action.  Dr. Hoag was called in the night, and was with him 
until 6:30 in morning, and when he left had no thought of the patient passing 
away so soon, his sudden death doubtless being due to the heart.

Chauncey Emmett Wells was just passed 70 years old.  He came to Ionia in the 
early 70’s and was a clerk in the drug store of Henry D. Irish, successor to 
F. C. Sibley and predecessor of Dr. W. R. Cutler.  He soon became interested 
in pine land, and devoted his time for several years to land looking and 
speculation, but for several years has been entirely out of business.  His 
residence most of the years since has been in Ionia.  In the early years his 
social nature and genial spirit brought him in touch with many people, and he 
was widely known and generally popular.

He leaves a wife and one son, Loren of Chicago, one son and two daughters 
having preceded him to the world beyond.
