I am hoping to find information as to how I can obtain an obituary for Charles Welch who died in Tampico in November of 1914. We only have a brief article which appeared in the Kewanee Star Courier that his son, William Timothy Welch of Elmire, IL, formerly of Tampico and Prophetstown, had received word that his father (Charles Welch) had passed away.
By finding an obit for Charles, we hope to possibly learn the name of his parents.
Charles Welch was born in Newark, NJ on 30 April 1833. He was married to Mary Ellen Cronin on Oct. 18, 1863 in Benicia, Solano County, CA. From census records, we know he was in Tampico by 1870 with wife and several Children, including Wm T. Welch, Mary Welch (Renner), George Wesley Welch (whom we believe was a pastor and married to Carra Daily). Also, a son, Glenn Mercer Welch (who died at age 45 of heart disease in Peoria, IL)who is our link to the Welch family.
This is a very nice genealogy site and I want to thank you in advance for any help in this matter.

Della,
I have emailed Sharon Welch Callaghan, in Deer Grove, to see if she may have any further info for you. I will check the archives for a Tampico Tornado issue for an obit in the next day or two. Will let you know what I find or hear from Sharon.

I have transcribed the obit for Charles Welch and Mary Ellen in our OBITS section. I'm still waiting to hear from Sharon Welch Callaghan to see if she is related to this line and if she has any more info.

I heard from Sharon - Here's her response:
Dear Denise,
We are not related to this Welch family. Rhonda Renner Loos owns the Sterling Beauty School and might know something about them.
She had asked me about this' Welch' conncection. I would imagine this Welch family was not Catholic. Our Welch name was originally
Walsh but the teacher changed it to Welsh and then Welch. So much for formalities. Sharon

This Glenn Welch was the brother to my great-grandmother, Mary Ellen Welch Renner and my grandfather was named after his uncle, this Glenn Welch. I have a wonderful photograph of this Glenn Welch which has been handed down through the Renner family. I am connected to the Welch/Renner families of the Tampico/Deer Grove area and my great-great grandfather William Renner founded Deer Grove.

Hello welch/renner,
I have wanted to honor the Renner families in the Tampico Memorial Cemetery for several years. Any information or photos you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated! Also, would anyone in your family care to do a presentation on either of these families in our 2010 Memorial Day Cemetery Walk? Good to have you on "board."
Unfortunately, we don't do "Walks" in the Union cemetery. At least not yet! They are Bureau Co., so their Gen. Society may do it sometime.

Hello welch/renner
I am replying to your message to Della Rone about Glenn Welch. She forwarded it to me because Glenn Welch was my grandfather. My father was Gaylord Wesley Welch Glenn's only child. Della was married to my brother and has been helping me with my reserch.
I am so excited hearing from you. Yes we would love a copy of your picture of Glenn. I have never seen a picture of him. Do you have any other pictures of Charles Welch and flamily.I have so many questions to ask you if you might have time to answer some. I am 72 years old and did not start looking into my family until I retired. My parents never talked about their families. My father died when I was 19 and had not talked to him about his family in detail. As an adult I tried to talk with my mother about it but she just won't talk about it. My e-mail is elaine.lingenfelter@verizon.net If you would like to contact me that way. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Welch/Renner Hello New Cousin, Boy is this exciting. I'm answering this as quickly as I can to let you know I've read your reply and wanted to let you know. I would love the picture if you are sure you don't want it. Also could I have a copy of Charles and Ellen 50th Anniversary picture because I don't have any pictures of them or any of the family from up there. It would be so great to see what they look like. Also is there any way I could see or get a copy of the book about Patrick Cronin. I would make sure you got it back. It may be the answer to a big question I have. Glenn's brother William was a blacksmith in Elmira. Probably the one your grandfather learned his trade from. Uncle Will is how I know him and My grandfather Glenn married sisters. When Glenn left his wife Uncle Will took them in and my grandmother was his bookkeeper. She and my dad finally got a place of there own. This is a long story but Ill shorten for now. William had the blacksmith shop and when cars came in he changed it over to a garage and worked on cars. Which my father did also when younger. But any way I heard stories about gangsters from Chicago coming down to have their cars taken care of and hiding out when things got to hot for them up there. I never could figure why they would come to Elmira of all the places they could go. This would have been before 1938 because this was when he died. My dad even had a paper backed book I remember of pictures of gangster cars some had been shot up and died men around them like you would see from back at that time. Maybe they were part of the Cronin family. I’d love to see the book so I could do some research into it.
I have a lot of info on the Welch and Cronin families that I’d love to send you if you would like. My big question is where the Welch family came from. My dad told me I was Scott/Irish. I wish now I talked more about that part when he was alive. Everyone talked about Uncle Will and what a strong brogue he had. I always thought it was Scottish because Elmira was settled by Scottish farmers. I never knew Uncle Will his wife and my grandmother all died just before I was born. I do have info on Ellen Cronin parents which could help you when you go to Ireland.
Please send me your address too so I can send you all the info I have. Maybe your e-mail address too so I can send you any new items I might find later.
Bye for now
