PROF. HORACE G. WELTY.
This gentleman is the present Superintendent of the Public
Schools of Uhrichsville. He is the second child of
Professor Joseph Welty, who for a period of eighteen
years, has been the efficient Superintendent of the Public
Schools of New Philadelphia, an who stands in the front
ranks of Ohio educators.
He was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, Oct. 22, 1849,
was early placed in school, and received a thorough
education under his father's supervision in the schools of
New Philadelphia,where he graduated in the summer of 1868.
His vacations and leisure days during this period were
industriously improved in any service that he could perform,
such as farm work, book canvassing, and other agency work.
He has earned his own living since he was fifteen years of
age. A special taste for the natural sciences was very
early developed, and Mr. Welty has paid more
particular attention to horticulture and floriculture, also
to civil engineering and surveying. Since his
graduation he has been engaged partly in teaching and partly
in engineering; in the former capacity in the vicinity of
Dover at Trenton, Seville, and in New Philadelphia. He
passed some time in attendance upon the National Normal
School at Lebanon, Ohio. At different times he was
employed in various capacities on the C. T. V. & W., P. V. &
C., W. L. E., and other railroads. Also for
nearly a year he was engaged upon the city engineering corps
of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; first as Transitman, and
subsequently as Assistant Engineer. In the spring of
1875 he opened an office as "Surveyor and Civil Engineer" in
Uhrichsville, but in June following was elected to the
position of Superintendent of the City Schools, and
accepted.
Mr. Welty is a gentleman of fine education and
polished manners, and the satisfaction which his services in
different departments have already given affords gratifying
promise of future success.
On Sept. 9, 1875, Professor Welty was united in
marriage with Miss Alice M. Sellers, daughter of
Reuben Sellers of Dalton, Wayne County, Ohio. |
