George Welch (death).
- London Free Press, February 14, 1857
- a young man named George Welch, living on the
16th Concession of Caradoc, near Ferguson's gang
Tavern, went into his backyard on the evening of
the 11th for the purpose of drawing water for his
cattle and not returning at the usual time, his
wife became alarmed, knowing that the well was
without a curb and surrounded by ice. She went
to the well, and horrible to relate discovered
him feet upwards at the bottom. She immediately
alarmed the neighbourhood and he was drawn out, but all efforts at resuscitation were useless. Happily he left no children to mourn his untimely end. He was a young man of sober and industrious habit. And leave a large circle of friends and relations to regret his loss
