FILSON), William C. BUZICK, and Mary (married Thomas

I am looking for information about Dr. Edward WATSON.
Family legend says he was born in NY City in August,
1868. His parents, William WATSON and Elizabeth MYRE were
German immigrants. They moved briefly to Ohio from New
York and then to "Des Moines", Iowa. We don't
know which Des Moines. William was supposed to be the
first tanner in the area. We think Edward attended high
school in Des Moines and know that he graduated from
Drake Univ. with a medical degree. After practicing
medicine in Des Moines for about 2 years, he went back to
school at the University of Michigan and finally moved
west to Washington state ultimately settling in North
Bend, Oregon. We can find no tangible records or his
early years or of his parents. We are especially
interested in any brothers or sisters he may have had.
Does anyone know anthing about this family? Thanks.
