THOS. P. WOOD.
T HOMAS P. WOOD was born at Ross Point, N. J., July 14, 1845, the son of William and Mary Wood, natives of Canada and of French descent. At the age of sixteen years Thomas went from the home of his parents into the army, as a drummer boy, but that occupation was too tame for him and he did service on the firing line, gun in hand, in the 96th N. Y., Co. C, in support of the Union. He enlisted in February, 1861. He partici- pated in several important battles, among them being those of Richmond, Goldsboro, Petersburg, Cold Harbor and Chatham's Farm, and was slightly wounded in one battle; was mustered out in March, 1866; re-enlisted March 28, 1866; mustered out in 1869. After his service in the army he returned to New York, where he remained until he located in Iowa, in 1869. In the following year he went to Brownville, Neb., where he lived two years. He then located in Templeton township, Atchison county, Missouri. He bought a farm southwest of Phelps City, which he sold about five years before this sketch was taken. However, sixteen years of his life in that township was on A. H. Bailey's large farm, which he conducted with profit to all parties concerned. Mr. Wood now owns a farm of forty acres, four miles south of Rock Port. On this farm is a five-room, 11%-story house; barn, necessary outbuildings and an orchard.
At Shelby, Ia., on Aug. 17th, 1869, Mr. Wood was joined in the holy bonds of matri- mony with Miss Celestia Cuppy, daughter of Isaac and Mary (Johnson) Cuppy, and second in a family of nine children. Mrs. Wood has the distinction of being the first white child born in Shelby county, Iowa. Her father was born in Pennsylvania-her mother in Ohio.
Mr. and Mrs. Wood are members of the M. E. church at Union City, and Mr. Wood was Stewart and Trustee of the M. E. church at Phelps City several years. We have heard it said that the preacher always gave the entertainment at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Wood the preference when he made his appointment at the Phelps City charge. As the judgment of the gentlemen of cloth is regarded as the best in matters culinary and otherwise, pertaining to entertainment, this fact speaks louder than words for these good people. In politics Mr. Wood is an ardent Republican. He has held the office of school director several years.
To Mr. and Mrs. Wood five children have been born, four of whom are living, namely: William, born Aug. 27, 1870; Mary Alice, wife of Albert Perry, born July 15, 1875; Chester M., born Sept 16, 1880; Thomas Earl, born June 17, 1890. Charlie Christie, born April 3, 1887, died Nov. 21, 1887.
At the time of taking this sketch Chester M. was in the United States army, doing service in the Philippines. He had served one term of three years, came back as far as California, re-enlisted and was returned from whence he came.

C HARLES A. WELLS, son of John T. and Alice F. Wells, is a native of Atchison county, Missouri, and is the oldest of ten children. He spent his boyhood days on the farm with his parents and attended the district school. He then became a student in the higli school at Adel, Ia., from which institution he graduated. He was then at home one year, after which he went West and there taught his first term of school in a sod school house in western Nebraska. After six months in the West he returned to Missouri and became a teacher in the public schools of Atchison county. He was elected principal of the public schools at Phelps City, Mo., which position he held two years. After this he attended the State University at Columbia, Mo. Resuming the duties of teacher, he accepted the prin- cipalship of the public schools at Westboro, Mo. He held that position one year and was re-elected for the following year, but he resigned his position in order to make the cam- paign for the office of County Clerk. He secured the nomination and was elected to that office in November, 1902, on the Democratic ticket, being the first Democrat elected to that office in twenty-eight years. He was re-elected to the office in November, 1906.
Mr. Wells is a member of the Christian church at Phelps City. Fraternally he is an active member of the K. of P. lodge at Rock Port, and he has held several important offices in that organization. He has also been President of the Rock Port Lecture Con- gress and Chautauqua Association. He became a member of the Democratic County Cen- tral Committee as soon as he was old enough and continued as such until his election to office. He has been several times a delegate to the various county, district and state con- ventions of the Democratic party.
Considering his age and the fact that in his undertakings he was unassisted, Mr. Wells has accomplished much, and we predict for him further distinction.
