PIERCE: this file which is a excerpt from a small booklet titled "The Wellman Centennial 1863-1963 Walla Walla Washington" It was made for a family reunion and was sent to various family members. Grandfather's mother, Harriet Persey, was pampered by everyone including the slaves. It is told that one day she might cut out as many as fifteen hickory shirts, and then for the next six weeks she would have her maid dress her and comb her hair. Her older children were all well educated. Grandfather was the youngest and was spoiled and attended school only as he pleased. His oldest brother, Dr. Harvey Wellman, was sent to fight yellow fever in Panama. His daughter was the first white child born in Panama. She married R. Beebe who was a wealthy tobacco raiser. His son Nance manufactured stoves. He visited the Wellmans in Walla Walla at one time. After Beebe's death, Jimmy Nick took over the Beebe farm and became a very wealthy tobacco dealer although he never used tobacco. On one visit home Dr. Harvey Wellman objected to the way his brother Alfred was being raised and made arrangements for him to enter a preparatory school and then go to college. But when he went back to Panama to settle his business preparatory to taking over the management of his father's farm, he died there of yellow fever. Although the Wellman family owned many slaves, they were really Northern sympathizers. The father died in 1862 and in 1863 our grandfather decided to bring his family west. He now had a wife and three children. He sold his heritage for $1500 and with it bought his outfit and oxen. They left Hannibal MO in April and arrived in Walla Walla in Oct. When they camped at Tollgate, a snowstorm scattered the oxen and grandfather is said to have walked to Ft. Walla Walla for help.

Notes for ALFRED CRAIG WELLMAN: An illustrated history of Walla Walla County, state of Washington, By Professor W. D. Lyman, W.H. Lever, Publisher, 1901, Pg 444a-445 ALFRED C. WELLMAN, a farmer near Clyde, is a native of Alabama, born November 3, 1835. When a year old he was taken by his parents to Missouri, where his father became an extensive farmer and merchant. Mr. Wellman attended public schools until he acquired a good general education, then in 1855 took charge of his father’s eleven-hundred-acre farm. In 1862 the father died. The next year the family started across the plains with ox-teams to Walla Walla county, where, shortly after his arrival, Mr. Wellman took a pre-emption on Dry creek. He also engaged in mining in Idaho, and succeeded in locating some very rich claims. In 1871 Mr. Wellman was elected county assessor of Walla Walla county, and at the expiration of his term he became deputy sheriff, serving for two years. He then made a trip east in the interest of a patent calculator, one of his own invention. On his return he went to Silver City, Idaho, where he mined until 1876. He then located a timber culture on Eureka flat, and became one of the pioneer agriculturists of that section. He now owns and farms six hundred and forty acres on Eureka flat, raising wheat. He is an energetic and progressive man, highly esteemed in his community, and respected as one who may be relied upon to do as he agrees at all times. He was married in April, 1855, to Miss Helen M. Merritt, a native of Missouri, and to them have been born seven children, Charles V., Alice C., Richard H., Percy L., Mary J., Mark A. and Al C. In fraternal affiliations Mr. Wellman is identified with the Elks. Mrs. Wellman is a member of the Christian church, having joined the society of that faith in New London, Missouri, in 1855. ************ 1870 Census WA territory Walla Walla Walla Walla Pg 324 Wellman,A.C.,38,MW,Laborer,MO Helen,34,FW,MO Charles,13,MW,MO Alice,11,FW,MO Richard,8,MW,MO Descendants of Lot Wellman Courtesy of Frazier Farmstead Museum page 3 Pierce,6,MW,W.T.
