ALBERT A. WELSH was born in York November 13, 1838, and is a son of George and 
Sarah (Wilt) Welsh, natives of the same borough.  He received a common school 
and academical education, and then engaged at butchering with his father, which 
business he has followed ever since, being now one of the oldest butchers in 
York, and at the present time his place of business is No. 131½ East 
Philadelphia Street, York, Penn.  January 29, 1860, he married Miss Catherine,

twelve children.  But of twelve, only seven children, Thomas Ivin, George 
Lincoln, John Lutman, Mary Magdalena, Charles Augustus, Carrie Verginnia and
