              ADAM WATSON was born in Scotland, April 26, 1822, and was
         brought up on a farm.  He came to this country at twenty years
         of age to Almont, and worked on various farms for several years.
         At the age of twenty-five years he bought a farm of eighty acres,
         one mile east of the village, which he still retains.  He also
         owns 320 acres in the town of Dryden.  His business has always
