General Notes: Husband - William John Welsh

---

He was reared a farmer, and inherited 120 acres of the old family homestead. He and his wife were members of Jefferson Summit Presbyterian church, in which he was elected an elder in 1894. In politics, he was a Republican, and filled the office of school director for fifteen years. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., both the Lodge and Encampment.

He lived on a farm which was situated one mile west of Jefferson Center, on the Jefferson and Glade Mill Road, in Butler County, Pennsylvania. He attended the Saxonburg School, going from there to Jefferson School. He then took up the work of the farm, on account of the death of his father, and continued thereafter, making agricultural pursuits his life work. He carried on general farming and raised some excellent stock.
He and his family belonged to the Summit Presbyterian Church, in which he was an elder. For twenty-seven years he served on the School Board, a large part of the time as its president, and at various times held almost all of the township offices. He was identified with the Odd Fellows, being a charter member of the local Encampment, and with the order of Maccabees. [TCHBC, 1117]
