General Notes: Husband - Roy A. Watson

---

He was reared in Slippery Rock, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and attended the public schools and the Slip­pery Rock State Normal School. On leaving school he went to work for J. C. Kerr, a general merchant, although he had prior to that time spent his spare hours from school in working in that store. In all he spent about ten years in Mr. Kerr's store, and on quitting his employ in 1901 became associated with Mr. Charles Clin­ton Williams in the grocery business. With a capital of $700 they put a stock of goods in the store room later occupied by a restaurant, and continued there about one year. They then moved to another store­room, and there carried on the business until a new building was com­pleted. They purchased an old brick building, formerly a part of the college buildings, that stood on the banks of Wolf Creek, tore it down and cleaned the brick, which they used in the construction of their business block. They handled a full line of staple and fancy groceries, notions and cigars and tobacco, and their trade extended for miles throughout the territory contiguous to the borough.
