W.E. Leffingwell, and Philinda wife of Ira Lepper, and Lucia wife of Jacob Lepper, settled on what is now known as the Black farm in Welton Township, which was then part of this township (De Witt). John Walrod died in the year 1848 and was buried on his own farm. Henry was killed by the accidental discharge of his gun while hunting for deer in 1844. It seems that in crossing "Nigger Creek", near the present residence of Martin Dobler in Welton Township, in putting his gun down to cross the creek, it was discharged killing him. His body was found several days after the occurrence, and buried in his father's farm. SOURCE- History of Clinton County, Iowa, 1879
