From "History of the Great Lakes", J.B. Mansfield (1899)

CAPTAIN JOHN J. PEARSON Captain John J. Pearson went on the lakes at the age of twelve years as second porter on the Lake Breeze. He was born in Birmingham, England, August 8, 1868, and in 1873 came to this country with his father, Richard Pearson, who is still living in Parsons, W. Va., engaged in the lumber business. The Captain lived in Au Sable, Mich., until he commenced sailing. For several years following 1880 he was before the mast on different lake vessels until 1891, when he became mate on the Atlantic. In 1892 he was given command of the Flora, on which he remained one season, transferring from this boat to the Atlantic and the Champion, and sailing them the following seasons. He then came on the State of Michigan, in command of which he has since been retained. Captain Pearson is a young man for such a responsible position, but his fortunate experience on the water has given his employers the greatest confidence in him and he has every prospect of a brilliant career. Captain Pearson was married, November 24, 1886, to Miss Luella V. Edgar, whose father, Andrew K. Edgar, was one of the pioneers of Alcona county, Mich.; he died in 1881. The Captain and his wife have two children: Armand J., born May 11, 1888; and Lois Mabelle, born January 17, 1890.

John married Llewella Maria Edgar on 24 Nov 1886 in Harrisville, Haynes Twp, Alcona County, Michigan. Llewella (daughter of Andrew K Edgar and Margaret Warrington) was born on 09 Feb 1869 in Harrisville, Haynes Twp, Alcona County, Michigan; died on 29 Oct 1959 in Alcona County, Michigan; was buried in Springport Cemetery, Harrisville, Alcona County, Michigan.

Newspaper Article:
"Local Sayings and Doings" - The venerable Squire Edgar, living a mile north of the village is very ill and not expected to live. While piling wood about two weeks ago he very suddenly lost the use of his legs and fell to the ground almost helpless. He succeeded, however, in crawling into his house on hands and knees and has been confined to his bed since, with no apparent improvement in his condition, so we learn. (Alcona County (MI) Review - Nov 25, 1881)

Newspaper Obit:
"Another Pioneer Gone" - Andrew K. Edgar, Esq., one of the pioneer farmers of Harrisvile township, is no more, his death having occurred at his residence one mile north of this village, Sunday morning last, after an illness of seven weeks. Mr. Edgar was born in the state of Vermont in March 1802, and consequently at the time of his death was past 79 years of age. After spending the greater part of his manhood in his native State, he subsequently moved to Detroit, Mich., but in what year we have not been informed. Here he met with Margaret Warrington, whose hand in marriage he courted and finally won in 1855, and now survives his death with a family of three sons and four daughters. Eighteen years ago last May the deceased removed to this county, and located a farm just above the village of Harrisville, where he remained to the day of his death. He always bore prominent part in township and county matters, and was elected Justice of the Peace for several terms. In his death Harrisville township loses one of her oldest citizens and public benefactors.
Funeral services of the deceased were held from the M.E. church Monday afternoon. The attendance of friends and neighbors was unusually large. (Alcona County (MI) Review - Dec 30 ,1881)
