Death of EMANUEL WELTY

Emanuel Welty died at his home in Winterset last night, (May 6th, 1908) after a brief illness with pleura-pneumonia.

The deceased was one of the old residents of Webster township and retired from the farm this spring in order that himself and wife might spend the remainder of their days in retirement from active work.

A few weeks ago he returned from an extended visit in Marshall county and located in Winterset. He was about our streets in usual health until a few days ago and his death is a surprise and shock to his friends.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow and interment made near the Oak Grove church, in Webster township.
