Harriet later married Joshua Norton in MI and Ashley was then called Ashley David Wells Norton and David Ashley Wells Norton. My husband is from Ashley aka David. William and Ina Wells had a son named Charles William Wells b. 24 Aug 1873 Lawrence, Douglas County, KS. The family moved to Denver about 1876. Below are several news articles regarding William Steele Wells while in Denver, CO. ----- The Denver Tribune Tuseday Morning 24 Dec. 1878 page 4 DEAD OR DESERTED Disappearance of W.S. Wells, the Stockman and Jocky. Ten Days Gone and No Search Made Almost two weeks ago Mr. W. S. Wells, generally known throughout the West as a dealer in horses and driver, bid his family adieu, and since that time has not been seen or heard from. The Tribune has been aware of this fact almost ever since the disapperarance of Mr. Wells, but has hesitaited to say anything, has indeed refrained from doing so, becasue a faint hope was felt for his return. It is related by those famillar with the faots in the case that Mr. Wells had been in quite a despondent state of mind for the past few months on account of the condition of his purse. He has received serveral loans recently and made an effort to make others in which he failed. Mr. Wells was last seen in Denver on Friday, the twentieth instant, and his last efforts were to raise money. For some time past he and his wife and son, a boy of eight years have resided at the boarding house of Mrs. Rawings, on Lawrence Street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth. Wells experinced considerable difficulty in meeting his bills as they became due. At the time of his departure he owed his landlady $125. She seems to have not been at all backward in pressing her claim for money, and he at last consented to give her a check for the requisite amount. This check was drawn on the Colorado National Bank of this city. The check was written early in the morning, and Wells sarted out. He seems to have gone directly to the Kansas Stables. Then, it is stated, he made an effort to dispose of a team which he represented was his, for $250. Evidently with the hope of accomplishing this, he sent his little boy with a note to Mrs. Rawlings, asking her to not present the check in her possesion until after 10 o'clock. The this lady sent a reply ____________ to do as requested. When the boy took the note to Mr. Wells he is represented to have taken the youngster to his arms and kissed him warmly, saying that he would never again see him. After this Wells was seen no were so far as can be ascertained, and as far as can be asertainded no efforts have been made to learn any thing concerning him. This will seem strange to some and does to most poeple with whom the writer has conversed. The Tribune is able to throw no light upon the subject. There are many conjectures. Some people think that Wells committed suicide to escape the disgrace that would attach to him, after having a check dishonored at the bank. The prevailing opinion is, however, that he has fled the town, and that he has perhaps gone away with the hope of quietly earning the money which he owes here and elsewhere. But it is very, very strange that a man who was esteemed as highly as was Wells, should be allowed to remain away so long without some effort being made to learn something in regard to the matter. There are few communities boasting of civilization that would allow this. There are a few additional facts in the case which may be of interest. The check spoken of was not presented until in the afternoon of the Friday in quesion. It was presented then only to be dishonored. It was stated that Wells had had no money in the bank for a great while. It was also afterwards discovered that the team upon which he made an effort to realize $250 was the property of a Mr. Alexander, and that Wells had no interest in it whatever. It is further stated that Mr. Boyd Skelton, of Littleton, is an indorser for Wells for two notes amounting in the aggregate to $1,100. Alexander, the owner of the team, is a loser of several hundred. There are said to be many others who are in the same boat. Indeed, it is said that ever since Wells removed to Colorado, some two years ago, he has been losing money, or rather that he has been spending money all the time and making for none. He lived not extravagantly but well. But there was a constant drain upon him, which he seems to have been unable to meet excpt by resorting to borrowing. _________said to have disliked very much to do, and it is __________would not have drawn upon his own popalarity, and the credulity of his friends to the extent he did had he not been very sorely pushed. Indeed his sudden disappearance shows that he was a man of some pride. Mr. Wells, who is prehaps as generally known as her husband, is left with the boy on her hands and sedtitute. Friends have however come to her relief and have raised the money to pay the board bill which was due to Mrs. Rawlings. This was paind and Mrs. Wells removed to the residence of Deputy Sherriff Frank Smith. She has parents residing in Lawrence, Kansas, who are abundantly able to provide for her wants, but it is said that a foolish pride prevents her allowing them to be informed of her immediate wants. It seems that she married Wells without knowledge or consent of her father and mother; hence her conduct at present. The Tribune desfre again to urge that a search be made for Wells. There are some who will say that if money could be raised to pay debts left behind and top put Mrs. Wells in comfortable circumstances, enough might be raised to ascertain something in regard to the present whereabouts of Wells. Indeed, there may be some who will assert that a proper interest in the man would dictate the application of the first money abtaind to this end. Is there something rotten Denmark? ----- Denver Daily Tribune Tuesday Morning 22 April 1879 page 4 A MYSTERY SOLVED The Sudden Disappearence of W.S. Wells Explained at Last. The Remains Are Found in Adin Alexander's Barn After Four Months. An Evident Case of Suicide Caused by Humiliation Letter to His Wife and Others. Most of the readers of The Tribune will remember the particulars of the sudden disappearance from the city last December of W.S. Wells, as published in The Tribune at the time, and in no other paper in this city. As was then stated, Mr. Wells had come to Denver with a youngwife some years before. He was a man very generally esteemed among all classes of people, and was extensively known. He was a horse-trainer by trade, but notwithstanding this fact he and his wife moved in good circles of society. Hence, when it was ascertained that his whereabouts were unknown, the information caused general regret as well as universal surprise. As set forth in The Tribune at the time of the disappearance, the factw were are follows: Wells had been a popular trainer and horse dealer, but had not been financially successful. He lost money all the time, or, at least, failed to realize enough money to live upon. He began to borrow money, but falled to make payments and went from bad to worse. He became dejected, and grew worse as his own affairs did. Last fell he went with his family to board at a house on Lawrence Street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth, but being unable to pay his bills, he gave the landlady a check on one of the banks of the city for $120, having, however, no money in the bank. This occured on the thriteenth of December last. He then went away and made an effort to sell a pair of horses owned by Mr. Adin Alexander, who had been a most intimate friend to Wells. Failing in this, Wells was never afterwards seen by any one who recognized him. His disappearance was a great mystery, which it seemed would never be solved. It was supposed that he had either fled the country because of the ill luck and the disgrace which he knew would fall upon him when it became known what step he had taken to meet his ginancial obilgations, or that he had in his shame and humiliation committed suicide. They mystery remained unsolved until last night. Mrs. Wells after remaining in Denver a few weeks left for her father's home in Lawreance, Kansas, and at last accounts was still there. Not a word was over heard of Wells. People talked about the matter for a while but seen let it drop from their minds. About dusk yesterday John Alexander, a young man some 18 years of age, son of Adin Alexander, whose horses Wells had made an effort to dispose of, and who resided on Welton Street near Sixteenth, went into his father's barn loft to obtain hay for the horse, He was using a pitchfork, and had taken up but a very small quantity of the feed when, to his profound astonishment, he discovered a hat lyling in the hay. He was greatly frightened even at this discovery, the loft being dark and gloomy. The idea that there was someone in the loft alive or dead seems to haveseized him at once, and he started to leave the loft. But he concluded to satisfy himself fully before taking his departure, and to do so stuck the picthfork which he still held in his hand in the hay. It struck something solid. Without waiting to make any further examination, young Alexander picked up the hat which he found and left the stables as rapidly as he well could. The hat was taken to the house and was shown to Mrs. Alexander. Wells, it should be stated, was a frequent visitor at Alexander's and was well known there, even to his clothing. They at once concluded that the hat was one which had belonged to Wells and which he had been wearing just previous to his death. Without making any further investigation, and feeling sure that there was a corpse in the barn loft, the young man was dispatched to find a neighbor. He went at once to the house of Mr. S.B. French, the real estate dealer, and communicated to that gentleman his story and his convicitions. Mr. French, without making any investigation, started after Coroner Metatlen. The Cornoer responded promply to the call and going to the stable, was but a moment in exposing to view the dead body of a man. Still the identity of the unfortunate was not established, and it was difficult indeed to find a resemblance at the first glace between this lifeless body and Wells while in the possession of life and strength. The body lay in a crowded position, with the hands clasped. All the clothing that a man would naturally wear on a cold day. Including a heavy Ulster over coat, was found on the person. The body was cramped and stiff. The liquids of the body seemed to have entirely disappeared, and ! the skin was dry and hard, being in color very similar to tanbark. The side of the face next to the fay was moulded and the eyes were almost entirely gone. The hands were blodded in patches and the shirt near the pit of the stomach containded one blood spot. There were evidences in teh clenched hands and in the set of the jews, etc., of a strong death struggle. During the Coroner's visit the loft was lighted with an ordinary coal oil land, the rays of which searcely penetrated into the far off corners. The rafters of the roof and the plain brick walls stood out boldly. It was a barren, lonely spot in which to die. A few men gathered about and spoke in whipering and reverential tones of the surroundings and the way in which the poor man had shose to lay down his life. The body was soon removed from its long resting place in the now and placed upon a clean blanked on the floor. In the pockets was found testimony amply sufficient to establish the idently of the corpse, and also plentiful evidence that he had taken his own life. Among serveral other papers bearing his own name, a small note book was found containing in a large, open, but rather unever and fultering handwriting, the notes which will be found below. The first in the book of these nots read as follows: Ina: My watch is pawned on the corner of Eighteenth and Blake. Tell Frank Smith to get it and keep it for what I owe him; let Frank take care of the mines, and it will pay all I owe and keep you well. Tough ___ $20, and the bill collected has some bills. George Easbrook will tellyou about them. Charlie Wright has a note that belongs to S. Pettebone. There is no signature to this letter, and as will be seen, it is in place quite unitelligible. The next note is as follows: Johany Alexander: Get your father's harness and buggy at though's and bring them home and turn the horse out. Get the cap of Th____ for Happey's premium. It is all done. the next not is written in a power hand that either of the precedking. It is ________ to tell to whom it is written, but, as near as can be developed, it reads as follows: _____ - When you receive this I will be dead. I could not bear to meet you after what I had done. I have only been a curse to ________ (The rest of the newpaper is very hard to read.) ----- The Denver Daily Tribune Wednesday Morning, April 23, 1879 page 4 The Coroner's Inquest.
