• Notes

  (Research):Living in Indianapolis in 1920 Census Living in Indianapolis in 1930 Census After Erich died his body and effects were sent back to St. Louis.  My grandfather (Harry Welp), found a marriage record of some type in Erich's suitcase.  No one in the family was aware that Erich had ever married.  It caused a stir in the family, Grandma (Harry's wife Alma) intimated to me that Erich had been divorced which would have really upset his parents.  The document, along with his other personal effects were destroyed.
