The History of Oceana County, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [p. 122]
         
         SETH EDSON, of the Oceana Journal, was born in 1827, in
       Chardon, Geauga Co., Ohio, and received his education at
       the Chardon and the Western Reserve Seminaries. He has 
       been a teacher for many years, being six years engaged in 
       a select school in Hampden, Ohio, and one year in Chardon
       Union School. In his native county he was county school
       inspector for several years, and six years county surveyor.
       He came to Hart in April, 1871, assuming charge of the
       school, which he taught seven terms; was then elected
       county superintendent of schools for two years, after
       which he resumed the charge of Hart school for three terms.
       In 1878 he was elected county surveyor, serving two years.
       On February 18, 1878, in company with MR. PALMITER, he
       assumed charge of the Oceana Journal. In February, 1880,
       the latter sold his interest to H. A. GARVER, who, in turn
       sold, in August, 1882, to MR. MATTHEWS, of the Fremont
       Indicator. PROF. EDSON was elected county school examiner
       for one year in 1881, and re-elected for three years in
       1882. He was married in July, 1857, to MARY ANN HUNGERFORD,
       who died November 11, 1861. On June 27, 1863, he was married
       to CARLIE BRADLEY.
