Daily Inter-Ocean [Chicago] September 14, 1890
The Welch family held a reunion Thursday that was a success in every detail. 
It occurred two miles south of Downs at the home of Mr. George Welch. There 
were 150 present and they were nearly all on hand by 10 o'clock. A fine dinner 
was served on a table seventy-two feet long under a tent. After dinner there 
was a speech by Captain A. M. Stringfield, who reviewed the changes since he 
settled here many years ago. The Hon. Ivory H. Pike made a speech and Miss 
Maud Pike gave a recitation and song. There was also music by an orchestra 
comprised of Daniel Thompson, Edward Welch, J. F. Welch and wife, and Abner 
Downs. Those present from abroad were Mr. Reed and family, of Kansas City; E. 
Reed, of Washington, D. C.; S. F. Downs and family, of Saybrook; Mrs. Julia 
Jacoby, of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Archibald, of Colorado, and Miss Minnie Welch, 
of Riverside, Cal.
