A. B. WELCH DIES 

Abisha B. Welch, a pioneer resident of Jackson County, died of paralysis at 
the home of his son, J. M. Welch, at Clinton. Mr. Welch is mourned by his 
widow, who was Miss Martha Cuppy, eight children, 26 grandchildren, and 11 
great-grandchildren. The children are Mrs. James McNamee of Baldwin, Mrs. Leon 
Lowe of Charlotte, Chris of Kansas City, J. M. and Elsworth of Clinton, Albert 
C. of Center Junction, Elmer of Andover and John of Maquoketa. 

Mr. Welch was born in Greensburg, Indiana in 1839 and came to Iowa in 1849, 
making his home where Maquoketa is now located, but at that time was known as 
Springfield. For the past years he has made his home with his sons. Prayer 
services were held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at the son's home and 
Thursday morning the body was taken to Baldwin and services held at the church 
at two o'clock, Elder Ed Lowe officiating, with interment at the Pence 
cemetery.
