While in the Southwest last spring Mr. Welborn was directed by a physician to return to his Indiana home and receive attention for throat trouble.

Mi. Welborn served as depot postmaster under the postmastership of the late John Bell.
He is survived by three sisters. Mrs. A. O. Morris at whose home he died, and Mrs. Charles Hewitt, of Knightstown, and Mrs. William Manson, of Brookline, Mass., and two brothers, W. C. Welborn and Capt. Luther Welborn, U. S. A., retired, of Knghtstown.
