Former
Big Sandy Riverman Passes in Huntington
Captain
John C. Welch, age 75, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
W. R. Pack, in Huntington, W.Va., last Saturday morning. Captain
Welch, retired steamboat pilot, had been in ill health for several
months past. Captain Welch was one of the few old rivermen who plied
their trade on the Big Sandy River when steamboats were the only mode
of travel up and down the valley. In addition to piloting
steamboats up and down the treacherous Big Sandy when it was a
navigable stream, Captain Welch also gained fame as a pilot on the Ohio
River. He was well-known along the riverfronts of Catlettsburg,
Ashland and Ironton in the heyday of steamboating. Captain Welch was a
former resident of Johnson County, where he had many friends and
relatives who still grieve at his passing. He was a member of the Odd
Fellows and Masonic Lodges of Paintsville. He is survived by his widow,
one daughter, and three grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted
at Offutt, Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock, and burial was in the Offutt
Cemetery. Rev. L. F. Orley of Huntington was in charge of the services. PAINTSVILLE HERALD THURSDAY APR. 26,
