John Wells, born 13 February 1886 in Virginia, died 26 January 1960 of arteriosclerotic heart disease at Chattaroy, Mingo, West Virginia,His parents names on the death certificate were John Wells and Lizzie Stillwell.The informant listed on the death certificate was Mrs. Ida Wells, of Williamson, West Virginia.Burial date was listed as 31 January 1960 at Fairview Cemetery in Williamson.
John and Ida appear in the 1920 census of Lower Big Creek, Pike, Kentucky, with six children:

I believe this is Ida Tilly in the 1900 census of ED 101 Maiden Spring District Richlands town, Tazewell, Virginia, with her parents and older siblings:

Ida's birth was recorded on 4 November 1886 at Richland, Tazewell, Virginia.Her parents were listed as E. M. and Mary Tilley.Source:https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X5KG-SZG
I believe that this is also the Edmon and Mary Tilley family in the 1880 census of Maiden Spring, Tazewell, Virginia, although Edmon(d)'s birth place is listed as North Carolina:
Household Gender Age Birthplace
