According to Dorothy Turcotte's Memories of Pioneer Days, pp. 158 - 9, and The Growing Years, pp. 71 - 73, Edward Williamson's grandfather emigrated from Yorkshire in 1817. His son William, who was 4 years old in 1817, later settled in Nelson Township and Farms and Farminged at the south west corner of Walkers Line and Middle Road (now the QEW). William's son Edward became a funeral director, and at one time was the oldest practising funeral director in Ontario. Edward's son Edgar took up the funeral business in 1903 when he married, and later sold it to the Smith family. Edgar and his wife and two daughters, Beulah and Violet, lived above the furniture store on Brant Street until 1912, when Mrs Williamson died, and the widower and daughters moved farther up Brant Street to live with his parents. Then he bought this house on Locust Street (from Miss McCullah?) for $3500. He sold it during the Depression for $4000. Beulah later married Albert Tuck. (of 524 Locust Street?) There are Williamson family photographs and reminiscences in Turcotte. 1924 GOAD Map: 27 Locust 1927 Voters List: xx 1932 Burlington Directory: E. W.
