Welcome to Welchworks!
This blog is an online post for my ongoing genealogical research. I am working primarily on five families that lived in Beaver Dam, Wi. from the mid 19th century through the twentieth: Welch, Healy, McCabe, Malone, and Maroney. Along with other Irish immigrants they were founding families of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Beaver Dam. I started reesearching my Welch family roots in late June 2001 using the amazing resources of the State Historical Society Library. I was able to assemble a lot of my initial information from wedding, funeral, and probate notices found in old issues of the Beaver Dam Argus. Contact me at seanwelch71@yahoo.com.

Here's my current extracts from the Beaver Dam Argus, 30 July 1874 through Dec 1895. I have left them with all the spelling errors and gramatical errors I found them with. Texts not appearing in quotes are my own words and these notes do not usually include all the persons that might be listed among my target names. All of these are from the Argus unless otherwise noted:

30 July 1874
"Our Streets"- call for further city street improvement, page 3

note: This article demonstrates how community effort was so key to the very basic constructions of Beaver Dam and all towns. As you'll see many men made a regular
paycheck doing street improvement work or street related maintenence.

17 Sept 1874
Among those with letters remaining at the post office as of 15 Sept 1874: John Kelley, Joseph P Healy,2

note: John Kelley was among the founder's of St. Patrick's. I don't have any evidence yet to connect this Joseph P. Healy to our Healy's but I include it here as a possible mention. John Healy and Julia Healy Welch did have other siblings we know about, according to Catherine Koob, at least six that remained in Ireland, and maybe a sister named Rose that came over with John and Julia. Joseph may be a sibling or other relation. When I find their names conclusively in a ship's registry it will no doubt shed a lot more light on this matter.

1 Oct 1874
Theresa Driscoll is among the many teachers who attended the previous week's Teacher's Institute under the direction of Superintendent Flavin.

19 Nov 1874
Among those with letters remaining at the post office as of 16 Nov 1874: Patrick Cunningham, C.M. Hart, N. Dougan.

10 Dec 1874
"Moulton has not sold his negatives. If you want any duplicate photographs from any of them, order them at once."

note: Moulton was a local photographer who apparently went out of business but kept his product after selling his gear.
I mention him only because he was a contemporary of a great-great grandfather of mine, William Parks, who was a photographer operating
out of Iola,Waupaca Co., Wi. around this same time.

11 Feb 1875
Among those with letters remaining at the post office as of 10 Feb 1875: Michael Shady
Note: I think this is Michael Sheedy, I can't find any Shady family in Beaver Dam at this time.
Note: The Sheedy's were a founding or very early family of St. Patrick's.

11 Mar 1875
"S.P. Doolittle has sold his hardware establishment to his son Frank and Ellis Golling."

note: S.P. Doolittle was a local hardware store owner, and he and his sons did a lot of construction on the first St. Patrick's church building.

John Haley (Healy) was paid $18.00 for work on streets
Mick Welsh (Welch?) was paid $6.25 for work on streets
The 2 McCaffrey's paid $12.50 for work on streets

Note: These are some of the first mentions in the Argus of the five families of my study and some of their fellow St. Patrick's founders. All these men had their names regularly misspelled in the paper, but the Welch's get listed as the Welsh's for a long time. This has led me to speculate on how our family spelled their last name, but the family plot marker at St. Patrick's cemetery reads WELCH from about 1890. I trust the rightness of the marker's spelling.

2 Sept 1875
In horseraces held the 25th and the 26th of August, H.W. McCafferty (Henry McCaffrey?) ran two trotters. One was named "Diamond Joe", and the other, "Norwegian Anna."

He had been workingn on the new bridge of the Wis. Central R.R., over the Wisconsin River, and was attacked by a fever from which he recovered; but subsequently met with a relapse which resulted in his death. The remains were brought to this city Tuesday by Pat. Hassett, and the funeral was held yesterday forenoon."
note: The Baskfield's were kin to the Malone's through the marrige of John Malone's daughter Mary Etta to John Joseph Baskfield in June 1891. Thomas was the older brother of John. Pat Hassett's family were also members of St. Patrick's and were close with the Welch's.

12 Apr 1877
Tessis Driscoll is among a committee at a Teacher's Institute in Juneau.

"Street lamps in certain parts of the city are often found unlighted. What can be the reason? We feel safe in assuring our inquirer that a dark lamp
must be the result of some accident and not intentional neglect. The lamps were never better lighted than by Mr. Marroney, and he is entitled
to much credit for the efficient manner in which he has carried out his contract to light them."

17 Apr 1877
"Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was a guest of Mrs. Townsend while she was in the city."
Note: Stanton was a leader in the Women's rights movement for over fifty years, overshadowed perhaps only by her friend and collegue,
Susan B. Anthony. She's one of the most famous persons ever to visit Beaver Dam on a speaking tour.

"ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING- On Sunday last, Jas. E. Malone and several companions started out for a chicken hunt, but when they got into Westfield,
and were taking their accontrements from the wagon, as Mr. Malone was taking out his gun from the back of the wagon, drawing the muzzle
toward him, it was discharged, a portion of the load entering his right side, happily only making a slight flesh wound, no vital part of his body being injured.
The charge went up his coat sleeve, which was of course torn up, and his arm and side were somewhat burned by the powder. He immediately
returned home and was attended by Dr. Babcock, and though he has since kept in the house, is getting along all right, and will be around again in a day
or two. It was a very narrow escape for Mr. Malone and he may consider himself extremely fortunate that he was not more severely injured.

11 Oct 1877

Notes: This is the only Malone family cousin I have found as of Apr. 2004. The 1860 Clinton, Iowa census shows a James Malone, and the 1870 census shows a Cornelius Malone, age 11, who I think is the above mentioned "Con.", living with Cornelius and Mary Scanlin, both age 60, both from Ireland, who I think are his maternal grandparents. With John, Dennis, and Con.'s father, that gives us three of the maybe dozen children of Jeremiah and Hannah (Maloney) Malone.

"John Malone and wife are visiting in Dakota, as will be seen by a letter from him in this issue."

Note: The follwing two letters, written by John Malone from the Dakota territory offer a rare glimpse into his literacy. His insights into the conditions of the Dakota settlers and the land itself shows a man well versed in a variety of works. I would argue that his letters were little edited by the ARGUS staff because Malone's grammer and puctuation is generally better than that of the staff writers. They obviously went to good lenghts to reprint his letters faithfully. I am sending these letters to the appropriate historical societies in South Dakota in hope that they may aid them in their local research.

"FROM DAKOTA. Clark Center, Dak., Aug 4, '82
Editors Argus: I thought I would drop you a line to let you know I am living and well. We had a very pleasant ride, leaving Juneau at 11 o'clock Tuesday and arrived at Kranzburg at half-past 12 Wednesday. We found a friend from Fon du Lac Co., Wis., who hitched up his team and took us to Mr. Hanrahan's, about 4 miles. We found his family well. Mr. Hanrahan is employed by the N.W. R. Co. at Watertown; he came up across the country to see us, and I went with him to Watertown, where i met several old neighbours- Mr. Scott, Mr. Warren and family, John Evans, John Stein, and others. At Clark Ceter I met Mr. Sybrant and Millard- it is all a boom there. Mr. Sybrant is running a gang of 16 men on a fine hotel for our old friend Mr. Conkling, of Waterloo. I noticed they have built about fifteen substantial buildings here in three weeks. The crops look well, with a very few exceptions, where there is a little rust. There are several pieces of barley cut here. I have not been to see Mr. Harley's boys, or Mr. Hawley's, but will go there before I leave. It is no use to describe the country; all I will say is what our friend Judge Fribert said to Mr. Evans 'it is immense.' We had a party from Watertown , Wis., with us, and at the head was Mr. E.F. Masterson, a good whole-souled fellow. He is locating lands for several parties, and you have to go fifteen or twenty miles from the R.R. track to get government land. I hope my friends and neighbours are all right and well; I will come back in a few days. I have not shot any chickens yet, but will have some soon. The people here are friendly. If I should go to Ireland I think I could not find so many friends, and if was treasurer of the land league I would have all th eevicted tenants in Ireland, with their famlies, out in this country, and give them 80 acres each, for I think the Lord has made this country for the benefit of his people and they ought to enjoy it. If I were twenty-five years younger than I am, this would certainly be my home; but when all is said and done, you would think of old Beaver Dam with it's Vita Park, and Swan steamer, and the Belle Rowell, and all the rest of the pleasure boats. Then go back thirty years in your memory of the past, and you would say that Beaver Dam was the place for old people, with her Wollen Mills and Cotton Factory, and some of the best financiers in the country.
I have traveled in a great many places, North, South, East and West, and never met a more accomidating lot of officers, from the conductor down to the brakeman, than the Chicago and Northwestern Company has on this line; they are all perfect gentlemen, and at their post every time.
From your old friend, JOHN MALONE."

17 Aug 1882
"FROM DAKOTA. Watertown, Dak., Aug. 12, 1882.
Editors Argus: I received the ARGUS of the 10th, which was a welcome visitor to me. In my letter to you, I told you would see the Harley and Hawley boys. I have had a horse and buggy, and travoled around the country considerable. It is a gentle horse and I could sit in the buggy and shoot at the chickens, and you ought to see the feathers fly. I, with my wife, Mrs. Hanrahan and children, visited with a Mr. James Jalon. He has a beautiful homestead, on which he has lived only two years, but he has 20,000 trees growing on it, and it looks splendid. Coming back we stopped at Mr. Hawley's, and found tho[se] boys looking hale and hearty. They have a fine place. They have 75 acres of rye in shock, which is good and the work well done. The rest of their crop is good, and there is a great deal of it. I have been to Mr. Harley's house three or four times. The boys have their hands full. They have three or four stacks of nice hay, and also have some barley cut. They also have a splendid crop. The land cannot be beat. I saw a piece that Mr. Dalon [Jalon?] had manured, and the corn and potatoes are splendid. As for oats you would hardly take any description- it is wonderful to see such growth. I bought a cabbage head that measured 13 1/2 inches; it was raised at Lake Kampensky. I can give you but a faint idea of the amount of wheat, oats, barley and vegetables growing in this country- it is big. There has not been a drop of rain here for two weeks.
Geo. Warren has a good business here; but as to machinery, you have no idea of the number sold here in the past two weeks. I saw Mr. Cochrane; he sells the Osborue [Osbourne?] binder and has ll he can attend to.
There is a place called Hemmy, where the R.R. company is digging a well. They are down to 85 feet, but have no water yet, though they are bound to get it. The water is good here in most places, except some spots where there is alkali. They dig all the way from 12 to 35 feet.
Watertown is a nice place, built on low sandy land, and is a great business point at present. Goodwin is a nice little place, and will do a business after harvest. I forgot to mention the Harley boys herd of cattle; they have a herdsman and a pony, and their herd is a fine one. I go back to Kranzburg this afternoon to see wife and babies, and hope to be home next Saturday.
Yours respectfully, JOHN MALONE.

"John Haley [Healy] wishes us to extend his sincere thanks to his neighbours for their prompt assistance at the burning of his house in saving his furniture, etc., and also to the Hook & Ladder company, which tore away the burning frame, saved his outbuilding ans staid on the grounds until all danger to them was over."

“A petition was filed in the matter of the estate of Peter Welch (of Westford) by Mary Jane Welch, his widow asking that she be made special administrator. In her petition was set out the fact that the estate of Peter Welch is comprised of real estate valued at $20,000 and goods/chattels, etc., valued at $2,000. John C. Healy was appointed guardian of Myrtle and Rolland Welch, minors.”
Note: I have no evidence to show that these Welch’s are any relation to our family. They are a larger family and their gravesite is very close to our Welch’s and the Maroney’s at St. Patrick’s cemetery. If they were related I would have to say that they were not very close to our side, because I have never found any mention of them attending a wedding or a funeral, or any family event as simple as an afternoon visit. The most telling evidence is that they are never mentioned in family obituaries, and our Welch’s are never mentioned in their obituaries. I was definitely confused on this possible relationship for some time.
