Former Local Woman Dead

Word was received in this city on Monday morning by Mrs. Abbie Spencer, telling 
of the death, at her home in Hart, of Mrs. Thomas Welch a former resident of 
this city.  Mrs. Welsh was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher, who came to 
this section of the state from Ohio, at an early date and they were pioneer 
residents of the Miriam district where she grew up as a girl.  She was married 
to Thomas Welsh and they resided in this city for quite a number of years, Mr. 
Welsh being elected as the first city clerk at the time this community 
separated from Otisco township and incorporated as a city.  Mr. Welsh was 
engaged in various business enterprises during the family’s residence here, 
going from here to Grand rapids and 18 years ago, to Hart, where they have 
since resided.  Surviving are the husband, Thomas Welsh, a son, Clarence, both 
of Hart, and a daughter, Mrs. Eileen Eggleston, of Grand Rapids.  A sister, 
Mrs. Anthony Martin, of Allegan, and a brother, Louis Fisher, of Grand Rapids, 
also survive.  Funeral services were held at St. Gregory’s Catholic church at 
Weare, near Hart, Wednesday morning and the remains were taken to Grand Rapids 
for burial.  Mr. Welsh and children have the sympathy of their many friends in 
this community in their great loss.

 [Transcriber's Note:  Both spellings of the surname, Welch and Welsh, are 
typed as they appear in the obituary.]
