If it may help you:
1910 census-Pierce,Texas,MO
Wells,James W.-78;married 32yrs;born NY,parents same;farm
Elizabeth A.-70;6 children born,6 living;born NY,father born GER,mother born US
Elmer M.-30;born IA;married 1 year
Rosa M.-29;born KS
Retta J.-3;born KS

Elmer reg. for the WWI draft in 1918,Harvey Co.,KS; he was a farm laborer,nearest relative his wife Rosa Maude Wells.
birth date given as June 19,1879
(Someone else's family tree gives the maiden name of Rosa as "Yaughgar",and that she married Elmer July 25,1909 in Harvey Co.,KS; she died in May of 1953 in Garden City,KS)

In 1930 Elmer and Rosa live in Deerfield,Kearney,KS. They have children Bessie age 15,George W. age 11 and James W.age 8;all children born in KS

This looks to be your James-based on age,birth place and birth place of parents:

wife-Mamie-26;3 children born,3 living;born KS,parents born US

1920 Pueblo
Wells,James A.-53;widowed;born MI,parent born NY;farmer
son-Harry L.-17;laborer-steel works
daughter-Viola-16;photographer-picture gallery
son-Dale H.-10

In 1930,James says he is divorced;lives alone with son Harry. James is still farming and Harry works at a gas station.

It looks like this family is buried at Roselawn Cemetery in Pueblo;
go here and search for "WELLS"-if you compare plot numbers,names you know--most of them here.
