DEATH OF R. C. WELCH
R. C. Welch, one of the pioneer residents of Pawnee county, died at his home, two and a half miles northeast of Larned, last Saturday, Oct. 14th, from pneumonia. He was taken ill the Monday before, and in two days his condition had grown rapidly worse. The attack came so suddenly that few in the community knew that he was ill, and the news of his death came as a shock to his many friends.
The funeral services were held from the residence Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Dr. J. T. M. Knox had charge of the service at the house, assisted by the Masonic lodge, which gave the burial service at the cemetery.
Rezin Chandler Welch was born in Cadiz, Ohio, April 22nd, 1845, and was aged 71 years, 5 months and 22 days at the time of his death.
He was married to Clara Belle Lawton, December 31, 1885. To this union were born two daughters, Nira and Sara. They with his two brothers, D. B. Welch and J. C. Welch of Garfield, Kan., are left to mourn his loss, his wife having died March 16, 1901.
He moved with his parents to Arcola, Ill., at the age of nine years. In the fall of 1873 he came to Larned, where he homesteaded the land which is the present family home. He was ever a good neighbor, a devoted husband, a kind and loving father, and lived a consistent Christian life.
In the death of R. C. Welch, Pawnee county loses one of its earliest pioneer settlers. He came here in the fall of 1873, the year the county was first settled, and this had been his home since. He knew all the history and development of the county from its wilderness days, and loved to talk of the early times.
He was a charter member of the Larned Masonic Lodge, and was a faithful, consistent member of that order. He was a kindly man, one who enjoyed and merited the confidence and trust of all who knew him, and his passing comes as a personal loss to many of the citizens of the community, particularly to the friends who knew him in the struggling pioneer days of the county, when mutual hardships and privations drew men together in closer bonds of sympathy and friendship than do these later days of prosperity and plenty.
