Welch Cemetery

The first grave at this site was that of Georgia native Anna Welch (1804-1877), who selected the hillside for her own burial, and it was used as a family cemetery from that time. The property was owned by her son Andrew Jackson "Jack" Welch (1825-1899), a veteran of the Civil War. In 1898, the original two-acre tract was formally designated a family cemetery in the will of A.J. Welch and his wife Nancy Ann. It was enlarged to 2.49 acres in 1969 by their grandson A.V. "Vernon" Welch. Pioneer settlers and veterans of four wars are buried here.
