Jan 3, 1895..The Mask Ball.
  The Fireman's Mask Ball was pronounced a grand success by all who witnessed it from
the point of spectators as well as by those who indulged in the temptation to "trip the light
fantastic" in time with the exquisite music furnished by the Italian orchestra, says our
reporter, and a more orderly gathering is seldom seen.  Every one seemed bent on having a
good time and doing so in a quiet sociable way.  The house was well filled, many
attending from Loveland and Longmont.  Following are the costumes represented.

COMPANY.
   On the last evening of the old year our faithful hose team donned their uniforms early in
the evening and gave a hearty welcome to the guests who attended their Eighth Annual
Masquerade Ball.
   Mr Webb, of Longmont, came up early in the morning and made a display of hideous
regalia at the hall, which was eagerly taken advantage of for the occasion.  An Italian
orchestra from Denver furnished the music, so that nothing was left undone that could
have been done to make the affair the grand success it was.  There was a large number in
attendance from neighboring towns and perfect order prevailed.  Nothing else would go
with our kind of a hose team.

cannot make the list complete.  Those whom we were able to list were as follows:

Sep 7 1901..J H WELTY (12)..Among those who have taken advantage of every
opportunity to make farming successful in its various branches is J H Welty.  It is often
remarked of him that whatever he touches turns to money.  Mr Welty came to Berthoud
before much rural development had been made.
   He was born near Tipton, Cedar country, Iowa, September 2, 1857.  He was one of six
children, among whom are Mrs. W E Bader, Mrs A A Knott and G F Welty, all prominent
people hereabout.  His boyhood days were spent on his father's farm.  By the way, his
father was Henry Welty, who also came to Colorado.  In the fall of 1878, Jake went to
Illinois in company with A A Knott and Crawford McKee, making the trip overland. 
From there they came to Sumner county, Kansas.  
   Mr Welty took up land and got a deed for it, and after two years he drove through to
Colorado and settled near Longmont.  He was employed as a farm hand on the George
Zweck ranch on the St Vrain.  In the meantime he made a trip to Buffalo, Wyoming, with
a bunch of cattle for his employer.  It was in 1885 that he bought his home quarter section
of Dr Chase.  There was one little scrubby tree and a dugout upon it.  The house was
claimed to be haunted, and considerable excitement prevailed about that time over reports
of ghosts seen.  For three years he kept "bachelor's hall," after which his sister came out
and kept house for him several years.  In 1889 he bought the quarter section adjoining him
on the west.
   On September 24, 1891, Mr Welty was married to Miss Augusta Zweck, daughter of his
former employer.  Mrs Welty was born and raised in Colorado.  Her father came to the
state in 1859.  He built the Zweck Hotel at Longmont and was third partner in the Prussian
mine at Gold Hill.
   Their wedding trip was to eastern Iowa and lasted six weeks.  They have one child
whose name is Roy Virgil (6), born February 13, 1896.
