Solomon & Sophia Sellers
Family History
by Linda Sellers Johnson

This is a self-published family history of Solomon and Sophia (Avery) Sellers, who homesteaded at Wellfleet in Lincoln County, Nebraska. The volume opens with their homesteading story, then follows their children and grandchildren through the families of Maud and Robert Kunkel, May and Louis Meyer, Leo and Pearl Sellers, Laura Belle and Wayne Axtell, William “Bill” and Marie Bartness, Sarah and Floyd Axtell, and Byron and Bertha Lehr.

The book also covers the family’s Pennsylvania roots, the Eigler, Agler, and Graybill lines, and the Avery and Eastman history. A section on “Our Veterans” and family brands and reunions rounds it out, and the compiler closes with a note and a list of genealogy sources she used.

Researchers with Sellers, Avery, or Eastman roots in Lincoln County will find this useful. It is a working family history, not a published trade book.  Includes a copy of the 2020 family update under a separate cover.
