The Henry County Weekly, December 16, 1892
Accidentally Shot
     Last Saturday morning the little village of Finchersville, Butts County, 
near the line of Henry, was the scene of  a very sad and distressing accident.
     While out at target practice with several friends, Mr. Walter Welch, a 
most exemplary young man, accidentally shot himself with a Smith & Wesson 
pistol, 38 caliber. The ball entered the left breast just under the nipple. 
Medical assistance was immediately called in, but it was soon discovered that 
he was beyond the aid of human agencies, and death ensued the night following. 
Mr. Welch was only twenty-four years of age; was held in high esteem by all 
whom he came in contact.
     He leaves a young wife to mourn his untimely death.
