Bridget Powers Welch
February 9, 1905
McHenry Plaindealer
 
Died, at her home in this city Saturday, Feb. 4, 1905, Mrs. Michael Welch (Bridget Powers), aged 70 yrs.
 
Mrs. Welch was born and lived in Ireland until 1861 when she came to America and settled in McHenry, where she has since lived
with the exception of a few years spent in Iowa.  On December 7, 1862, she was married to Michael Welch, at St. Patrick's
Church, McHenry.
 
Mrs. Welch was the mother of seven children: Mrs. Ed. Long, Mrs. Peter Doherty, Mrs. Peter Gilles, Mrs. W. C. Whiting of this
city, Lawrence and Mrs. James Callahan of Chicago and Katie who died Oct. 15, 1893 in McHenry.  She was a very kind and
loving mother, a gentle and dutiful wife, and will be sadly missed by her husband and children and a large circle of dear friends.
But the most beautiful trait in her character was her sincere piety and life-long and steadfast devotion to the Catholic faith which
was at all times her guide and comfort.  The funeral was held Monday at St. Patrick's Church, Father O'Neill officiating, and was
attended by a large number of mourning relatives and friend.
