WELCH:  Silas Welch died September 10, aged about 84 years, after many days of 
suffering. He was born June 26, 1839, at Columbus, Ohio. Early in the civil war 
he enlisted in the 3rd Ohio Infantry (Co.------) and served three years; was 
captured at the battle of Stone River and was a prisoner in Libby prison many 
months. In 1863 he married Amanda Colvin and came to Butler county in 1870. Two 
children, both now dead, were born to this marriage. The mother died in ’80. 
In ’83 in Ohio he married Elizabeth Soule returning to El Dorado where they 
have since resided. His wife survives him. He was a member of the G. A. R. of 
the Odd Fellows and for many years of the M.E. Church. Mr. Welch was respected 
as a thoroughly honest man. The funeral will be held Saturday, September 12 at 
10 a.m. at the family home.
