WATSON, an energetic Klickitat county farmer and stockman, resides on his 160-acre farm, situated some six miles east of the city of Goldendale. He was born in Napa county, California, in December, 1874, the son of Robert and Anna (Ferguson) Watson. His father is a native of Ireland, and likewise a farmer by occupation. He crossed the Atlantic to this country when six months old, and his parents settled in Canada. He removed to California when a young man, and followed farming in the Golden state until 1879, at which time he removed north to Klickitat county, and bought some land. He again farmed in the county until 1901, then sold the ranch and moved to Yakima county, where he and his wife now reside. She was born in Canada, of Scotch-Irish parents. Angus J., one of a family of six children, came to Klickitat county with his parents when five years old. He grew up in the county, and received his education in the public schools near the parental home, his spare time being employed on the farm. At the age of eighteen he started out in life for himself, and since that time has made his own living. He bought his present place in 1889, and has since followed the occupation of a farmer and stock raiser. Besides his own property he also rents two other farms, and he is cultivating over three hundred acres at present. In Klickitat county, in January, 1900, Mr. Watson married Miss Minnie Hamilton, daughter of Alexander and America Jane (Chamberlain) Hamilton. Her father is now sheep commissioner of the county, of which he is one of the early pioneers. Mrs. Watson was born in the county in 1882. Mr. Watson has a brother, Elmer R., and a sister, now Mrs. Ida Sexton, who lives near his home, also another brother named Fred. Mrs. Maud Richardson, wife of a Bickleton blacksmith, is also his sister, and his other sister, Mrs. Collie Harnard, makes her home in Pasco. Washington. Angus is the second oldest child, his brother Elmer being the oldest of the family. Mr. and Mrs. Watson have one child, Alice Christine, a girl of three years. Their son, Robert A., just recently passed away. In politics, Mr. Watson does not ally himself with any party, but votes for the best man. He is an energetic young man, and is succeeding admirably. ********************************************** 1900 Census - Occupation: Farmer (Precinct 6, Klickitat Co., Washington) 1910 Census - Occupation: Farmer, Industry: Own Farm (Precinct 6, Klickitat Co., Washington) 1920 Census - Occupation: Farm Operator, Industry: Own Account (Goldendale, Klickitat Co., Washington) 1940 Census - Occupation: Farmer, Industry: Farm (North Wapato, Yakima Co., Washington)
