New Castle News, February 10, 1937
Thomas Welch, aged 73, was burned to death in a fire 
which destroyed the three-room cottage in which he lived 
alone in the rear of the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. 
Frank Valiensi, of Wilson Avenue Extension, at 2:30 o'clock 
this morning. The fire is believed to have started from an 
exploding oil lamp, although it was impossible to discover 
the origin of the blaze.
     In addition to Mrs. Valiensi, he is survived by another 
step-daughter, Mrs. Anthony Nene and two daughters, Mrs. 
Edward Heany and Mrs. Joseph Priesel, all of this city. Mr. 
Welch also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Gardner and 
Mrs. Mary Rigby of this city., 18 grandchildren and three 
great-grandchildren. 
     Although he was born in Nashville, Tenn., he was 
brought to New Castle as a baby and spent most of his 
lifetime here. His wife, Catherine Gardner Welch, died seven 
years ago. Interment in St. Mary's Cemetery.
