General Notes: Husband - Roger Sherman Welty

---

He attended the common schools of his native township. He learned the trade of tanner, which he followed until 1884 when he engaged in the business of farming and lumbering. He owned forty acres of good farming land besides a timbered track of one hundred acres. He also owned and operated a portable saw-mill and furnished several coke-works with lumber supplies. He was an unswerving democrat and was nominated by his party in 1884 for the Legislature but was defeated with the rest of the democratic county ticket at the fall election. In the same year he was appointed justice of the peace and elected in 1885 for a term of five years. He was a member of the Order of Chosen Friends and Reformed church.
In 1886 Roger S. Welty wrote a work entitled “Rent, Wages and Capital,” which was published by the Laporte Printing Company. In it he shows that all the elements that constitute the State are inter-dependent and may and must advance.
