           [411]

           EDWARD C. SOULE, civil engineer, resident at SOULE village, was
        born Jan. 7, 1855, in Wyoming Co., N.Y., and is the son of CHARLES
        and CLARISSA F. (ROWLEY) SOULE.  (See sketch.)  He was nine years
        of age when his parents removed to Cattaraugus Co., N.Y., and he
        acquired a substantial education in the public schools of the
        county, which he supplemented by a solid course of study in the
        grammar school of Franklinville in the same county. He began
        teaching at the age of 20 years, opening his career in Michigan,
        and afterwards prosecuting the same business in the State of New
        York. He then returned to Michigan and again became a teacher, and
        combined that vocation with surveying.
           In 1883, associated with his father and brothers, he engaged in
        the management of a mill, in which business they continued to
        operate some years.
           He is a Republican in political connection, and in 1880 was
        elected County Surveyor, serving in the position two years.
           His marriage to MAGGIE TAYLOR took place at Port Austin Jan. 1,
        1883. They are the parents of one child, DAISY, born July 2, 1884.
        MRS. SOULE is the daughter of MATTHEW and ELIZABETH (MASON) TAYLOR.
        After their marriage the parents went to Ontario, and afterwards
        came to Michigan and settled at Port Austin. Their daughter was
        born in York village, Ont., June 25, 1859. She was in early child-
        hood when her father removed to Port Austin, where she obtained a
        good elementary education, and afterwards went to Le Sueur, Minn.,
        where she completed her studies. She returned to Port Austin and
        became a teacher in Huron County, in which she was engaged six
        years previous to her marriage.
