Buried in Section 3 next to his brother, Col. George Duncan Wells, who is listed as "famous".
Came From Old Greenfield Family
The body of James Alvord Wells was brought to town Monday and the burial with committal service took place at Green River cemetery. Judge and Mrs. Thorndike of Cambridge, the brother-in-law and sister of the deceased, and Miss Alice Wells, a sister accompanied the body. Mr. Wells was born in Greenfield and was the son of Judge Daniel Wells, of the court of common pleas. Jas. Wells went to Cambridge to live with his father at an early age so that he is not well remembered by very many Greenfield people. He had for many years a position in the office connected with Judge Thorndike's court. He never married, and had two sisters named above are the last of the family. Col. George D. Wells, a brother, was killed in one of the Virginia battles of the Civil war. James Wells spent considerable time here two years ago at the time of Old Home week celebration and was greatly interested in looking up family history. At one time he lived with his father in the house now occupied by Dr. Severance, but he was unable, after considerable research, to determine whether he was born in that house or the one now standing on Wells street next to the First Baptist church. Mrs. Frederick Conant of Greenfield is a cousin, and was related to the Nims, Newton, and Alvord families.
