Her obituary was published in the Yorkville Enquirer, 12-11-1906:
Mrs. Lucinda Wells died at the home of her son E.B. Wells near Henry's Knob last Saturday (12-8-1906), in the 98th year of her life. Mrs. Wells was the widow of the late Robert H. Wells who died about 20 years ago, and since has been living, with her children. She was the mother of 13 children, of whom six survive. The oldest child, if living, would be 78 years of age. In many respects Mrs. Wells was a remarkable woman. The vitality she showed in her old age was wonderful. Even after she was 80 years old, she though little of walking from the home of one child to another, often the distance of 7 or 8 miles. She was a member of Bethany A.R.P. Church, and until within the last two years was a pretty regular attendant, going to and from church, a distance of about two miles on foot. Her maiden name was Gladden. The funeral took place in Bethany last Sunday, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. R.M. Stevenson.

Her children were:
1. Francis Marion Wells
2. William M. Wells
3. Sarah R. Wells Farris
4. Alexander Vesco Wells
5. Arthur H. Wells
6. Robertson S. Wells
7. Emily Ann Wells
8. David Zacheriah Wells
9. Margaret Caroline Wells Sansing
10. Mary Jane Wells Sansing
11. Robert Sumpter Wells December 10, 1853-November 16, 1889
12. Edward E.B. Wells
13. Isabella Elizabeth Wells Gordon

Lucinda is buried next to her husband Robert and does not have a tombstone.
