General Notes: Husband - John Henry Welty

---

He was reared at home, and early in life was an assistant in his father’s store in Hannahstown, and later was employed for a year in the store of Lewis Trauger, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. His experience in these stores gained for him much valuable information relative to the mercantile business, which was of inestimable aid to him in later years. He subsequently engaged in the general mercantile business for himself in Delmont, Westmoreland County, there conducting an eminently successful and prosperous business for ten years. At the expiration of this time he removed to Allegheny, Pennsylvania, where he became a member of the firm of Welty Bros., in the carpet business, retaining his connection with this firm for four years. In 1886 he moved to Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in business, and was for a number of years one of the best known and highly respected merchants of that town. Mr. Welty was a consistent member of the Lutheran church for forty-five years.
