The Siftings Mar 4, 1910
Death Notices From THE SIFTINGS (Alexander City)

March 4, 1910:

Never were the people of Alexander City and surrounding country more shocked 
than when the news reached them of the sudden death of City Marshal L.D. WELCH 
early last Sunday morning… Retiring before midnight he left his friend, Mr. 
James WALKER of Gold Branch, who was his guest for the night, and appeared to 
be in good physical condition except for a headache with which he often 
suffered. Awaking Mr. WALKER some minutes before 4 o’clock Sunday morning, he 
was suffering almost violently and told his friend to hurry for a doctor. 
Neighbors and his physician, Dr. HARLAN, were soon at his bedside and although 
everything possible was done for his relief he died in less than two hours. He 
died of angina pectoris- paralysis of the heart- produced from acute 
indigestion… 
He had reached the age of 41 years. Besides his young widow, he leaves 
three little children, and two brothers, Messrs. W.M. WELCH and Eugene WELCH of 
Memphis, Texas, and two sisters in Comanche County, Texas… The funeral was held 
Monday afternoon in the First Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a 
consistent member… The Mayor and members of city council acted as honorary 
pallbearers, and after the service the Masonic fraternity took charge of the 
service and consigned their brother to the grave with beautiful ritualistic 
ceremony… He was a Columbian Woodman and held the office of Worthy Consel in 
the local Household; he carried $3,100 insurance in this order.
