Eventually his mother remarried, to a man named Adolph Herman, though he and his five siblings kept their father's name, and during her marriage to him, his mother's name became Wellek-Herman. Joe himself later changed the spelling of his name to Welleck.
Joe married a woman named Violet, and they lived and raised their family in Latrobe, the place he had been raised himself. His sister Alice gave her firstborn daughter, my grandma, the middle name Violet in honor of her sister-in-law, who was well-liked in the family.
He and his wife are buried near my great-grandmother Alice Wellek Wetmore and her husband William.
