History
W.J. Watson, a postmaster and store manager, lived in this house with his daughter, Mrs. Reston, and his granddaughter Zoe. Although he held a high-ranking position and knew the company's anti-liquor policy, he occasionally liked to drink beer. To avoid an embarrassing situation, he would give the speaker's father a dollar to buy four bottles of beer, then reward him with one bottle, saying in Spanish, "Tres para mi, y uno para uste," meaning, "Three for me and one for you." He was remembered as kind and helpful to everybody.
