Dr. Anderson Wells was very active
in public
life of Southwest Virginia. Records show that he was one of the 121
signers
of the petition to the Senate and House of Delegates of the
Commonwealth
of Virginia, in 1854 requesting that a new county of Wise be
formed.
Dr. Anderson Wells served on the jury
in
1857 of the trail of the first murder of Wise County. Dr.
Anderson
Wells served in the Civil War and achieved the rank of Lieutenant.
He was captured and held for a period
of
time as a prisoner of War by Union forces at Johnson’s Island in Ohio.
There he apparently studied to be a doctor.
After Dr. Well’s release from Johnson’s
Island
he lived on the Upper Guest River where he established an extensive
practice
as an “old time saddle-bag doctor” and died in 1910.
