Obituary: Frances Bates Wells, age 94, died peacefully in her Plano home 6, 2015, with loving family and devoted caregivers nearby. Mrs. Wells was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, 1, 1920, while her father was stationed at Fort Sill. She was the daughter of Colonel Charles Francis Bates and Mary George White Bates. She was the granddaughter of George White, who came to North Texas in 1847 as a surveyor and Peters Colonist, and Margaret Ferguson whose family settled in Collin in 1859. Frances grew up in the village of Bronxville, Westchester , New York. In 1942 she graduated from Wellesley . On May 6, 1949, Frances Bates married John Dickerson Wells of Plano, Texas. He preceded her in death on 29, 1992. Mr. Wells was a Collin farming leader and a pioneer in soil conservation. When Frances moved to Texas she was keenly aware she was witnessing a way of life that was rapidly disappearing. Her position as a newcomer with deep roots in Collin gave her a unique perspective. She worked hard to carefully document all the information she gathered for her various historical research projects. Through meticulous historical research she identified new primary sources. In the early 1970s Frances began working on a history of Plano, which eventually became Plano, Texas: The Early Years. She wrote or contributed to eight of the twenty-one chapters in the book, including The Farmers Song, her first chapter for the book. Collin Historical Research Projects: • Researched source material for eleven Texas State Historical Markers. • Secured copies of G. P. Brown Papers and the Wilson Papers. Both of these extensive collections were considered to be the basic sources for early Collin history, but neither had been available in the county itself. Both are now available at W. O. Haggard Library in Plano. • Encouraged and made possible the material for Eddie Sarge Stimpsons book My Remembers, a collection of tales about an African American boys life on a Plano farm during the Depression years. This is thought to be the only book of its kind in Texas. • Researched, edited and acquired a picture collection for Plano, Texas: The Early Years. • Acquired and donated an extensive photograph collection of historical interest to the Plano Public Library. • Collected and donated various miscellaneous papers, letters, and maps of historical interest to the Plano Public Library. • Collected and donated various miscellaneous papers, letters, and maps of historical interest to the Plano Public Library. Mrs. Wells is survived by four daughters, Marianne Wells of Plano, Katherine Power of Dallas, Nancy Warder and her husband Marshall of Grand Prairie, and Sarah Macias and her husband Rodney of Austin, grandchildren Erin Davis and her husband Brian of Waco, Jessica Meehan and her husband Connor of Richardson, Kathryn Ketchersid and her husband Kellen of Lubbock, Mathew Sams of Columbus, Ohio, Mary Katherine Macias of San Marcos, Jane Macias of Ft. Worth, John Warder of Los Angeles and Kathleen Sams of Plano. She is also survived by great-grandchildren Jenna, Luke and Garrett Davis, Blake Ketchersid, and numerous nieces and nephews. Her family extends special thanks and gratitude to her loving caregivers, Clara Davis and Margaret Ngama. The family is also deeply grateful to her dear friends and the staff of the Silverado memory care community in Plano, who became her second family as a result of her daily visits over the course of six years. A funeral in loving memory of her life will be held at 1:30 pm on 11, 2015 at Frankford Church, 17400 Muirfield Drive, Dallas, TX 75287 followed by a graveside service at Frankford , adjoining the church. The family will receive friends during a visitation on , 10, 2015 at Ted Dickey West in Plano from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Plano Public Library System for the Genealogy Memorial Fund. In 2012 Frances Wells received the Living Legacy of Collin Award. The program for the award noted the following: Frances Bates Wells is truly a Collin history Living Legend. Whenever a history question arises concerning southwestern Collin, Frances is the person people go to her for the answer.

Also she contributed several photos Frances was a member of the Collin Historical Commission for sixteen years.During that time she wrote applications for eleven state historical markers which were awarded for the southwestern Collin area. Perhaps her most important research was for her first historical maker, the Muncey Massacre in Plano. Her research for the historical makers for the Frankford and Frankford Church led her to research for a marker for the Shawnee Tail. The dedication ceremony for Shawnee Trail marker took place in part of Frisco and was part of a four-day wagon train reenactment down Preston Road from the Red River to the State Fair in Dallas. Frances did research for the markers for the oldest Baptist churches in Collin - Rowlett Creek Baptist Church and the Liberty Baptist Church.
