General Notes: Husband - Hon. George W. Welsh

---

He was the eldest in a family of eight children. He was reared in his native borough, and there attended school. He studied law in the office of J. McDowell Sharpe and his uncle, Wilson Reilly, at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the bar October 29, 1856. He first practiced in Fulton County, but was there only one year when he returned to Chambersburg. At the breaking out of the war of the Rebellion he enlisted in Company B, Second Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for three months, and was elected second lieutenant. He re-enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, for nine months, and was elected second lieutenant, subsequently promoted first lieutenant, and at the expiration of his term of service he received an honorable discharge.
He always voted the Democratic ticket. He was elected prothonotory of Franklin County in 1869, serving three years, and in 1873 was elected to the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania. At the close of the session he continued his law practice in Chambersburg until 1876, when he returned to his native town, where then continued in active practice.
