WELSCH received his early education in the common schools of Oxford township and after leaving school farmed on the old ho! mestead, which by scientific cultivation he has brought to a high degree of productivity. In November 25, 1889, he married Miss Mary PHELAN, a daughter of Patrick and Margaret PHELAN; the former born in County Tipperary, Ireland; the latter in Queen's county. Realizing the greater possibilities of success in America they came with their respective families to this country and were married in the Queen City. Subsequently they moved to Brownsville, Ind., thence to Oxford, Ohio, finally to Brookville, Ind., where he died and she yet lives. To them were born Mathew; Arthur, deceased; John, deceased.

Many thanks for your help with this. Bette Subject: Re: Imhoff, 21, 389, 764 That is the entire reference to the Imhoff family in that bio. Or were you wanting the entire bio on Kochendarfer?
