    BIOGRAPHY: Edgar C. Emerson's Town of Hounsfield Family Sketches, excerpted from "Our County & Its People" (1898), Part III

    Olmsted, William P., the eldest son of Jabez and Orpha (Knight) Olmsted, was born in the town of Houndsfield, Jefferson county, N.Y., February 27, 1836. He removed with his parents to the town of Watertown when he was an infant and where he was educated and has since resided. After obtaining a liberal education from the public schools he was employed by his father on the farm and at the age of twenty-one began business on his own account. He now makes a specialty of raising sheep and calves, in which he has been very successful. Mr. Olmsted has never been married, preferring a quiet, single life. He has the happy faculty of making friends and is highly esteemed by all who know him.
