On February 6, 1914 he was united in marriage to Malinda Welzel. The couple had one son who died in infancy. Mr. Welzel farmed for 64 years, first with his parents near Postville and after his marriage near Castalia, moving to Postville in 1957. Surviving is his wife Malinda, and several cousins.

-note: The line that says "Mr. Welzel farmed for 64 years, ...." -----that is the way the obituary reads but I think the paper made a mistake and meant for it to read "Mr. Meyer farmed for 64 years, ...".
