Mr. Henry Welch was born in Dorsetshire, England, October 7, 1842. He came to America with his parents on the North Atlantic in Sept 1850, landing in New Orleans. They spent two years in St. Louis and then resided in Alton, Illinois for several years. In 1857 they moved to Florence, Nebraska and later in the same year they came to Genoa to make their home. Ten years later Mr. Welch moved to Columbus and after spending two years there he moved onto a homestead in the Shell Creek Valley just across the line in Colfax County. On December 24, 1870, he married Miss Marguerite Pilling, who was a member of one of the pioneer families of Platte County. He remained at his home near Shell Creek until about 1916, when he retired from farm life and came again to Columbus. His wife, Marguerite passed away in September 1904.
