LAST WELLS OF WELLSBURG JOINS THE GREAT MAJORITY
(Handwritten 1907)
Grandparents of James Henry Wells, Who Died Yesterday, Brought Their Childrena nd Belongings to Wellsburg up Chemung River in Canoes—The Sturdy Family Gave Village Its Name.
(Special to the Star-Gazette). Wellsburg, Nov., 7. – James Henry Wells, one of Wellsburg’s oldest and most esteemed citiens, died at the home of A. B. Bevens of Main street at 6 o’clock Wednesday evening, after a lingering illness. Mr. Wells was born in this place in the year 1838, his parents being the late Colonel Henry Case Wells, Jr., and Hannah Smith Wells, who were among the first founders of this village.  His grandparents, the late Henry C. Wells and his wife, brought their children and few belongings to what is now the village of Wellsburg in canoes up the Chemung River from the state of Delaware, the early residence.  From them the village obtained its present name.  James Henry Wells was the last of the name living in this vicinity. At an early age he embarked in the grocery business in the building on the site of the Park Hotel on Front street.  He continued in that business for many years, afterwards converting his residence and store into a hotel, known to travelers as the Part Hotel, with which institution he was identified up to within a few months of his death. As a genial host he was known far and wide, and many will always remember the kindly, courtesies tendered them while guests of his hostelry.  Still more dearly will his friends and neighbors in this place miss him, for he was ever willing to do a good turn for others. Since the death of his wife, on July 4 last, he has constantly failed in health until the end came yesterday.  He left no survivors, he being the last of the family. The funeral will be held from the home of A. S. Bevens on Main street, Friday afternoon at 3 o’clock.  The Rev. Charles McKnight, rector of Trinity Church in Elmira, will officiate and the interment will be in Mountain View Cemetery.

Will it help you to know that I THINK her maiden name was Tooker .... possibly sister to Fred.
This is just from memory of something I had read in my in-laws effects.
Hopefully, I don't steer you wrong as I know of another male Tooker in Wellsburg about 1945-6, whose wife may have been the same maiden name as Mrs.Carpenter.
I can't sort it out in memory.
Believe the Carpenter children all live in the area.
