Shared note

Nick David Welch (1867-1947) was born and raised in Decatur County. His parents were David Welch and Harriett Welch and his grandparents were Nicholas and Nancy Welch. Nick Married Mary Josephine Lacy (1867-1945). Mary's parents were John L. and Susan F. Lacy. Besides Nick, David and Harriet had three sons: Lynn, George and James. Besides Mary, John L. and Susan had three sons: Grundy, Thomas and Hale and one daughter Elizabeth.

Nick farmed for many years on land northeast of Decaturville. He and Mary had two sons, Willie "Hound" and Thomas Clayton and four daughters: Alpha, Neely Mae, Edna and Winnie. His son Thomas served in the infantry of the US Army during WWI from June 24, 1918, to Sept. 14, 1918, and died in England from wounds received in battle in Europe. Thomas's body was returned to Decaturville and buried in Decaturville Cemetery. During the 1930s Nick and Mary mad annual visits to Hot Springs, AR to bathe in the hot baths for health reasons. They had numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In 1926 Nick purchased several acres of land and a house on Route 2 in the northern section of Decaturville from Roy N. Stout. After he retired from farming, he continued to garden and kept chickens and a cow until his death.
