Welch served early in the war in a Georgia Regiment. In 1863 he enlisted Captain Stewarts and Captain Reynold’s independent companies and spent time guarding bridges and railroads in northern Florida. The company became Company H of the 9th Florida that was organized in 1864 in Virginian. He was wounded at Cold Harbor and sent home. It is believed that he died of his wounds at home in Hamilton County and that he likely buried somewhere in that county. The cenotaph placed here because this is where his wife and children were buried.
