"Welcome P. Partello, farmer, section 10 Bethany Township, is a son of Welcome J. and Rhoda (Phinney) Partello, and was born in Cazenovia, N.Y., Oct 22, 1818. Then eight years old his parents came to Washtenaw County, this State, settling in Salem Township, the second family in that township. There the father bought 80 acres of timber and built a good log house , dug a well, and cleared 12 acres, when he discovered that he had located on the wrong piece of land. Accordingly he moved. When the subject of this sketch was 19 years old the family moved to Clinton, Co., Mich., five miles east of DeWitt.
At the last mentioned place, July 31, 1845, he married Amelia J. Hoople, who was born in Canada, Nov 28, 1821. By this marriage seven children have been born, viz.: Livonia, Julia, Welcome, Persis, Elson, Dwight and Olivia.
In Clinton County Mr. P. was most of the time engaged in agricultural pursuits, and had some real estate in the village of DeWitt. In March, 1856, he came to Bethany and took possession of a quarter section of timber land where he now resides, having 60 acres in a profitable state of cultivation and the value of the place enhanced by a number of improvements. When he first arrived on this tract it was all a wild forest. He moved with a yoke of oxen led by a horse. His father had settled on an adjoining place the year previous, and died eight years afterward: was the first supervisor of the township. His mother died two years later. He has been Justice of the Peace three years.
The children are now scattered as follows: Livonia is the widow of Stephen R. Goodwin, and resided in Bethany Township; Julia is the wife of William Denman, a farmer in Huron Co., Ohio; Welcome is engaged in connection with a railroad at San Antonio, Texas; Persis is the wife of Harver Atwell, a farmer in Bethany Township; Julia is the wife of William Denman, a farmer in Huron Co., Ohio; Welcome is engaged in connection with a railroad at San Antonio, Texas; Persis is the wife of Harvey Atwell, a farmer in Bethany township; Elson is living at home; Dwight is also at home, and Olivia is wife of Ira Bentley, a farmer in Huron co., Ohio.".
