In a letter written April 30, 1870, to Mrs. John Rowe of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, James Watson of Orleans Cross Roads, West Virginia, tells of the death of his sister Belle. He also says, "Lorenzo Dow Watson is a teacher of languages in the State Normal School at Mansfield, Pennsylvania, at $1000 per year and is married to a young lady from Brooklyn, N. Y."
December 9, 1871 the same James Watson writes that "Lorenzo Dow has been elected Principal of the graded school at Canton, Pennsylvania, where he receives a salary of $1100 and has one hundred and seventy pupils."
In February, 1873 James Watson writes, "Lorenzo Dow is stationed in Rochester, New York, pastor of the Asbury M. E. Church at a salary of $1600 with a fine parsonage and $400 in presents additional."
A letter from Lorenzo Dow Watson himself, written June 15, 1904, states that his preparatory education was received at Allegheny Seminary, Rainsburg, Pennsylvania, that he received his B. A. and M.A. at Dickinson College, his Ph.D. at Syracuse University, his L.L.B. and L.L.D. and S.T.D. from Victoria University. He also received S.T.D. from Boston University.
He was later the editor of the Buffalo Christian Advocate. His son Fred had graduated at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, Lima, New York, and from Cleveland Homeopathic Medical College, Cleveland, Ohio.
