Charles and Robert Welch, sons of the late Henry and Margaret Pilling Welch, were born on their parents' homestead in Colfax county where they resided nearly all their lives. Both lived on the home farm after their marriages, but when Charles retired eight years ago, he and his wife moved to a small acreage one-half mile west of St. John's church.
