Albert G. Wells was born in Ontario, Canada and settled on Section 15, Lenora Township in 1898. He was married to Jessie Matheson. Albert's father first homesteaded on Section 15. Mr. Wells was active in Township affairs. Besides farming he raised Percheron horses and was well known as a horse trader.

After Mrs. Wells' death, a nephew and wife came from Canada and stayed with him until his second marriage to Constance Ness. They sold the farm to Fiebigers and returned to Auroa, Canada. A number of years later they came back to the farm.

A sister of Mrs. Wells, Ragna Ness, stayed at their home and taught in the Simenson School.
