He was admitted to the bar in 1840 and his first practice was Clerk of Courts in Holmes County. He served in court of Common Pleas sixth district in 1851 and Lt Governor of Ohio declined re-nomination. Judge Welker was elected to Congress in 1864 and served in 39 ½, 40 and 41st Congress. In Nov. 1873, President Grant appointed him district judge of US for the Northern District of Ohio and served with great distinction until 1889 as he reached the age of 70 years and retired. As a citizen, he held many positions of merit. Judge Welker located in Wooster, in 1857, entered in a partnership with Judge Levi Cox. In the summer of 1857, he was appointed as candidate for the republican party as Lt. Governor and was elected in October of that year. He served two terms and May 14, 1861 was appointed and commissioned Judge Advocated of second brigade OVI milita and mustered into US April 15, 1861 with rank of major and served with Gen.

Dennison term in Jan. 1862. In May 1862, Gen. Todd appointed him to comman Emma Duncan a trip to Pittsburg Landing to bring home Ohio sick and wounded. As soon as the draft of 1862 was ordered by Sec. Of War, Gov. Todd appointed him Asst. Advocated General and Supertendant of the draft of Ohio. He held that until the close in early 1863. In the summer of 1862, he was nominated for Rep. to Congress from 14th district of Holmes, Wayne, Ashland and Medina but was defeated at election.

Boston Piano Works may move to Coschosten. AE Jones, who came to Wooster some weeks ago, is doing his best to organize the move to Coschosten. Mr. Jones did his best at the start to organize a company of Wooster people to take over the building interests of the present stock holders, remove the receivership and start the works up on a paying basis. There was not much interest taken in this matter at the time, so Mr. Jones went to Coschosten and has formed a company there for the purpose of taking the works from Wooster to that city. JA Compton, of Coschosten is president of the new company with Bareon vice president. AE Jones, formerly of Monroeville, is now a resident of Coschesten. Among the stockholders in Coschosten are : HC Herbig, WA Mizer and son, Capt. JA Compton, Capt. KW Jones, RA Crawford, OR Crawford and LD Schott. Mr. Jones tells Coschosten people they have in his working 50-60 people at start and increasing this number at the time grows. LP Ohliger, their receiver for the company, when interviewed by the Republican on Tuesday, said that Mr. Jones has an option on the Wooster plant and would take it as soon as he can get the cash. I understand that Mr. Jones intention to move the plant to Coschosten at least he has announced that he is going to do that. Wooster capitalists, it seems, could not be interested in this concern by Mr. Jones and for that reason he has sought outside money.
