General Notes: Husband - Curtis Blaine Welty

---

He born in Manor, Pennsylvania, where he received his earliest education in the public schools, later attending the Irwin High School. At the age of sixteen he became cashier for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Irwin, holding this position for three years and that of chief clerk for five years. In 1906 Mr. Welty established himself on his own account in the transfer business at Irwin, meeting with such a measure of success that for six years he conducted the enterprise. In 1910 he erected a tile building, known as The Irwin Auto Company Building, becoming the proprietor of a garage. The success of the venture exceeded his most sanguine expectations, the business increasing to such an extent that in 1916 he was obliged to move it to more commodious quarters. Purchasing land directly opposite his place of business and the large brick garage which had recently been erected on it, he entered upon a new and even more aggressive phase of his career. The building had two floors and was furnished in every respect with the most modern equipment. The building having fine car capacity, they were able to accommodate as many as seventy-five cars. Mr. Welty was agent for the Dodge cars and the brick, concrete and steel building, which he occupied, afforded the surest protection, as well as the most perfect accommodation. Repairing was done on the largest scale.
The political allegiance of Mr. Welty was steadfastly rendered to the Republican party, but office-seeking was foreign to his nature, and for office-holding he had neither time nor inclination. He affiliated with Shidle Lodge, No. 601, Free and Accepted Masons, of Irwin, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, No. 486, of Jeannette, and was a Shriner and a Knights Templar. He belonged to the Automobile Club of Pittsburgh. He and his family are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
