W. E. HEARN, better known as plain "Ed" was born in Grant County, near
Jonesville, March 2, 1854, and was married April 5, 1878, to Miss Nannie
Poe, and to this union four children have been born, all girls.  Mr.
Hearn is one of a family of seven born to James and Mary Hearn.  He 
located in Williamstown in 1894, and plied his trade, that of carpenter.
His excellent work soon built up an enormous business for him, and he  
branched out as a contracting carpenter.  Today he has all the work he 
can do and regularly employs from three to four men.  The Catholic 
Church, a beautiful edifice, the opera house and a large number of fine 
residences throughout the country are specimens of his ability as an 
architect.  He also runs in connection with his carpentering 
establishment a complete roofing and tinner's plant, and is prepared at 
all times to fill orders for tin and iron roofing, guttering, spouting 
or any work in this line at reasonable prices, insuring satisfaction in 
all instances.  His place of business is located on Main Street, 
opposite the Williamstown Opera House.  Estimates on any kind of work 
cheerfully furnished.  Call and make your wants known and a competent 
man will look after your interests.
