  HYDE, Welcome is a native of Vermont and was born in 1824. When a child he went with his parents into Ohio. At the age of 18 he was endowed with the privilege to do for himself. He drifted into llinois and attended Rock River Seminary for a year. Fotunately, he gained the confidence of a wealthy stock dealer, who took him into business. While there he became acquainted with Sarah Merckley and married her in the spring of 1846. She was born in Edgar County, Illinois in 1829. Soon after they emigrated to Fond du Lac, WI., where birth was given to two sons, Frederick M., November 15, 1846 and DeForest M., December 10, 1849. In 1850 they moved into the northwest corner of Outagamie Co., moving to the City of Appleton in the fall of 1866, where they now reside at 864 College Avenue. On the 25th day of December 1859, Francis Hyde, their only daughter was born. She was married in 1883 and gave birth to 3 children, 2 boys and 1 girl. November 11, 1873, she was called to leave her beloved children and participate in the treasures of eternity. Five weeks later, her little daughter followed her to the grave. The two boys are being brought up by their grandparents. Mr. Hyde's occupation is dealer in real estate. Taken from the Outagamie County Pioneer Record. HYDE, Welcome, a resident of Appleton, Wisconsin, was born in Milton, Chittenden county, Vermont, May 23rd, 1824. His parents, Eli and Mary Campbell Hyde, trace their ancestors through several generations of New Englanders, among whom were men of character and influence in the communities where they lived. Welcome Hyde passed his early boyhood in his native state, but when eleven years of age, his father, who had been a lumberman in the region about Lake Champlain, Page 144 removed to Ohio, settling in the vicinity of Cleveland. Here the boy spent several years, attending school and assisting his father in the work of the farm. He was a student in the Rock River institute, at Mount Morris, Illinois, for a year, but his health failing, he left the school, and in 1847 went into the pine woods of Wisconsin for the double purpose of benefiting his health and improving his material prospects. Here he met and renewed an acquaintance begun in the east with Philetus Sawyer. Mr. Sawyer, knowing him for a young man of integrity and good judgment, employed him to locate pine lands for him, to use the lumberman's and woodsman's phrase; and in this capacity he was long engaged, locating, it is thought, something like a million acres. Mr. Hyde also selected pine lands for himself, and in this way began what grew into a handsome fortune. He also invested largely in city property, but city lots had no such financial potency as pine lands. In February, 1862, Mr. Hyde raised a military company, for the defense of the Union, of which he was chosen captain, and which became a part of the Seventeenth Wisconsin infantry. He served with this company until September, 1862, when he was compelled to resign him commission on account of ill-health and return home. He is a Republican, but not "for revenue," for he has steadily refused all offices. He is a close observer, fond of travel, and has been in nearly every state in the Union. In this way he has gained a vast fund of information, and is an exceedingly agreeable companion. He once made the circuit of Vancouver's Island in a canoe, looking at the pine of that region. He is eminently a "self-made man," and one who was in no sense spoiled in the making, as not a few are. Mr. Hyde was married, in 1848, to Miss Sarah Markley of Paris, Illinois. Their children are F. M. Hyde, who is associated with his father in business; D. M. Hyde, who operates a saw-mill and is a general merchant at Bear Creek, Wisconsin, and Frances, wife of James Simpson, who died of consumption in November, 1893, leaving three children. She was a noble, Christian woman, and her death was a source of unspeakable grief to her parents and many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Hyde, as was their daughter, are consisted and active members of the Presbyterian church, and Mr. Hyde has given liberally of his substance for the support of every good cause.
