General Notes: Husband - Watson Decker Brodhead


He attended the public schools of Franklin, Pennsylvania, in his youth, and afterward learned the trade of machinist, which he followed for ten years. He then took up a business, the bottling of the fine spring water which was on his property, at the brow of the hill on Fourth Street. The spring was deep, and the Brodhead Famous Spring Water, as the product was known, was of high quality, and had a normal temperature of forty-five degrees, being very desirable for table use. He built up a large trade, and had an auto truck for local deliveries, and also shipped considerable quantities.
