                   Death of Thos. Welch of North Plains.
Thomas Welch, one of the oldest of the pioneer residents of North Plains 
township, living 14 miles west of Hubbardston, died on Friday night at the 
age of 78 years. He was about Thursday, as was his usual and active habit. 
Deceased was a much esteemed resident in his neighborhood, and had numerous 
friends in Ionia city, where he made frequent visits. He was the father of 
Mrs. Henry Allen and Patrick Welch of this city.

The funeral was attended on Monday from St. John's church, Hubbardston. Rev. 
Fr. McCabe preached a very fine sermon, extolling the worth of the deceased 
during his life as a citizen of North Plains. The funeral was probably the
