Bio
The Columbus Telegram, April 17, 1914 WELCH--After he had suffered for five years as a helpless invalid, death came to Robert Moses Welch on Good Friday. His condition was the result of two strokes of paralysis which he experienced in Omaha some years ago. A third stroke last Friday brought the final summons. Mr. Welch was a son of the late Jonas A. Welch. He was born on a farm near Shell Creek, July 30, 1877. While he was a little tot the family moved to Columbus. He attended the Columbus schools, and after being graduated from the high school went to the state university. After spending a year or two there he finished his education with special studies at the John Hopkins university,in Baltimore. Later he located in Omaha where he had employment as a bookkeeper and where he resided for some years. On May 10, 1906, he married Miss Mary Vratil, of Omaha. Two children, one boy and a girl, were born to them. About three years after his marriage he was stricken with paralysis. Returning to work too soon after having apparently recovered, he was stricken a second time. This stroke left him an invalid, helpless. It being apparent that chances of a complete recovery were slight, his mother, Mrs. Margaret Welch, had him brought to Columbus that she might have him cared for. His wife and children continued to reside in Omaha. Funeral services were held at the home of his mother at 1515 Platte street at 2 p.m. on Easter Sunday, Rev. George F. Williams officiating. Burial was made in the Columbus cemetery. Besides his sorrowing wife and children, Mr. Welch leaves his mother, Mrs. Margaret Welch; four sister [sic], Mrs. Martha Watts, Mrs. Harry Newman, Mrs. George Galley, all of Columbus, Mrs. Will Fox, of Spalding; and two brothers, W.J. Welch, of Monroe, and Charles Welch, of Columbus. Submitted by Find A Grave Volunteer: Shirley Martys
