Individual Details
James Thomas Wells
(27 Jun 1875 - 29 May 1949)
From Walnut Hills Cemetery tombstone: PVT 113 CO COAST ARTY. Photo of tombstone in my file JMT. This was his original tombstone and burial place. However, there was no room for Sarah Jane to be buried with him, so he was later moved to Leitchfield Memorial Gardens, where Sarah Jane is buried next to him.
