General Notes: Husband - Henry Wellhausen

---

He was the youngest of a family of ten children born to his parents, was the sole survivor of the family in 1908, and the only one to come to America except one sister. He was but two weeks old when his father died, and two years old at the time of his mother's death. He attended the public schools of Germany, but was thrown upon his own resources at a very tender age. He crossed the Atlantic to America when he was twenty-two years of age, and in 1857 became a resident of Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, buying a small farm in Wayne Township. As he was without means, it was necessary to earn the purchase price out of the returns from the farm, which was wholly unimproved. He made a clearing for a small house which he built, and then set about cultivating the land as it was cleared. He finally paid for it, then sold out and purchased another farm of fifty-five and one-half acres in Slippery Rock Township. He also came to own an additional tract of fifty acres northeast of his home place. He always engaged in general farming, except for two years in which he was employed in the iron works at Pittsburgh. In 1864 Mr. Wellhausen enlisted in the Eighty-third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served until the close of the war, participating in a number of engagements.
In politics Mr. Wellhausen was a Republican. In religious faith he was a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
