The Evening Post 2nd July 1887 shows
It is with regret that we have to chronicle the death of another of the pioneers of the Wellington Provincial District, in the person of Mr. William Welch, who died at Taita, Lower Hutt District, on Wednesday last, at the residence of his daughter-in-law, at the ripe age of 82. Mr. Welch arrived in Port Nicholson in the ship Oriental in January, 1840, and opened at once a small store on Petone beach. He afterwards added to his store an accommodation hotel. In 1845 he removed to the Hutt, where he started a hotel, known as the Rose of the Valley. Here he saw exciting times during the Maori war. Deceased was one of the promoters of the Rose of the Valley Lodge, 1.0.0. F., opened at the Lower Hutt in 1849. In the year 1850, Mr. William Welch removed to the Taita, and started farming operations, which proved very successful. In addition to his farm he commenced the business of carrier, which he continued to conduct till about seven years ago, when he lost his wife. He then went to reside with his daughter-in-law (Mrs. William Welch). Mr. Welch, personally, was of a retiring disposition, but would, when called upon, express his opinion freely. He was an honest, straightforward man, and greatly respected by all who knew him. The deceased leaves behind him 106 children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. The remains of deceased were buried at Christ Church churchyard, Taita, yesterday. The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. J. Jones, the Incumbent of the Parish. The funeral arrangements were conducted by Mr. Joseph Hall, of the Lower Hutt.
