NORTH CAMBRIA PERSONALITIES—NO. 28 C.P. Welty Businessman Here Since "06 oe te : $n By CYRIL R. STEVENS C. P. Welty is said to have been in business in Patton longer than any other person in the community. More than that, he is said to have been engaged in the plumbing trade longer than any other person in Cambria County. Mr, Welty came to Patton in 1903 and worked for J. C. Gould until opening his present business in 1906. He had previously learn- ed the plumbing trade in Lock Haven before coming to Patton. He has done work all over the State of Pennsylvania. Some jobs lasted a whole year. Included among them was the plumbing work at the nurses’ home at Danville and at the Children’s Home at Scotland, Pa. His firm also has done numerous school jobs throughout the state. Before learning the plumbing trade, Mr. Welty as a youth worked in the brick yard at Lock Haven. For the past 20 years, his son, C. H. Welty, has been associated with him in business. The elder Mr, Welty was born h James Studio Photo, Patton in Lock Haven May 1, 1876, a son of John and Margaret (Grimm) Welty. His parents came from Switzerland. He was married to the former Virgie Mincer of Lock Haven, She died in 1932. Three children were born to the marriage. There are also five grandchildren. Mr. Welty had a narrow escape when he was working on a plumbing job at the Highway De- partment Garage near Ebensburg in 1938. He was severely injured when he fell. At that time there was no hope that he would be able to walk again. However, through determination he got back on his feet again. Today he is still active in his business. Mr. Welty is a veteran of the Spanish American War. He serv- ed nine months in the Army at that time, He is a member of the Patton Eagles, Veterans of For- eign Wars, Sons of Italy and the Last Man's Club.
