General Notes: Husband - Edwin A. Watson

---

He was educated in the township schools and may be said to have grown up in the business which his father owned, in which he became a partner. Beginning in 1892 he was as­sociated with his father under the firm name of William Watson & Son. In 1897 the firm established the store at Isle as a branch of the parent house and under the vigorous management of Edwin A. Wat­son, who had charge, it developed into a larger concern than the one at Mount Chestnut. Prior to the establishing of the free delivery system, Mr. Watson was postmaster at Isle and he served as express agent at that point. The two stores did a large business in general merchandise, farm machinery, fertilizers and feed, in Franklin Township.
