General Notes: Husband - John L. Welsh

---

He passed the years of his youth from the age of three until he was seventeen years old in Perry township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, at which time his mother with the family moved to New Castle. His education was obtained in the common schools of Perry township, and in the Third Ward school of New Castle, where he was a pupil for three terms. Beginning from his tenth year he supported himself, working on farms and elsewhere, picking up jobs here and there, and doing whatever his hand found to do. At the age of twenty-one he began railroading as a brakeman and continued in that position for two years; then after a short service on the W. N. Y. & P. R. R., he again became a brakeman, and after working for the Pennsylvania R. R. eighteen months in that capacity he was appointed a conductor in October, 1885.
He and his wife were members in good and regular standing of the Presbyterian Church. Politically, Mr. Welsh was identified with the Prohibition party.
